[OE-core] [PATCH 0/3] License Related Patches

A few license related patches:

1. Per a request from Mark Hatle, adding the email from Mark Nudelman to me 
which allows us to use BSD license as opposed to the less license within the
recipe.

2. Next patch looks for package level LICENSE. If it finds it, it uses it. If
not it falls back to LICENSE.

3. A bit of space optimization around copying licenses to the image. When 
COPY_LIC_MANIFEST and COPY_LIC_DIRS are set we copy the generic licenses once if
found and then symlink to it from each /usr/share/common-licenses/${pkg} 
directory.

The following changes since commit 21ddc964ced18d4f1058c003f46acc2c7f1f1fe3:
