[OE-core] [PATCH 0/8] License Fixes.

This patchset covers three main topics. The first, and most important is how
INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE deals with LICENSE naming variations and pkg level licensing.

We now have the ability to set the recipe level license to one that is inherited by
all packages as well as the ability to override the main license. This allows us to 
specify that some packages may have incompatible licenses or the recipe may be 
incompatible, but the package itself isn't. I've included an example of this in
util-license.

Also included are fixes to the last of the license warnings.

And lastly, I've corrected some whitespace within license.bbclass according to the
style guide. 

The following changes since commit 6c77a0f0fa0c97bfbe93f4a930a1549566a7f016:
