Add a file to the LICENSES directory to describe how file licenses
should be described in all the OpenOCD files, using the SPDX
identifier, as well as where all licenses should be in the source
tree for people to refer to (LICENSES/).
This file is mainly copied from the Linux kernel file in
Documentation/process/license-rules.rst
originally written by Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>, with
specific adaptations for OpenOCD.

The script spdxcheck.py (used by checkpatch.pl) searches for the
license files in a dedicated folder, split in the subfolders:
"preferred", "dual", "deprecated", "exceptions".
Move the GPL-2.0 license from COPYING to the subfolder preferred,
adding the header required by spdxcheck.py.
The header is copied from equivalent file in the Linux kernel,
made by Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>.
Note: the license in COPYING matches exactly
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt
Add a minimalist COPYING in the top directory, as required by
automake, pointing to the files in LICENSES.
