This commit converts the license handling to adhere to the REUSE
specification. It specifically:
1. Adds used licnses to LICENSES/ directory
2. Add "isc" template for adding the copyright boilerplate
3. Changes all source files to include copyright and SPDX license
header, this includes all the C sources, documentation, zone files,
configuration files. There are notes in the doc/dev/copyrights file
on how to add correct headers to the new files.
4. Handle the rest that can't be modified via .reuse/dep5 file. The
binary (or otherwise unmodifiable) files could have license places
next to them in <foo>.license file, but this would lead to cluttered
repository and most of the files handled in the .reuse/dep5 file are
system test files.
ORACLE MySQL 8.0 has dropped the my_bool type, so we need to reinstate
it back when compiling with that version or higher. MariaDB is still
keeping the my_bool type. The numbering between the two (MariaDB 5.x
jumped to MariaDB 10.x) doesn't make the life of the developer easy.
Both clang-tidy and uncrustify chokes on statement like this:

if (...)
break;

statements.

The coccinellery repository provides many little semantic patches to fix common
problems in the code. The number of semantic patches in the coccinellery
repository is high and most of the semantic patches apply only for Linux, so it
doesn't make sense to run them on regular basis as the processing takes a lot of
time.
The list of issue found in BIND 9, by no means complete, includes:
- double assignment to a variable
- `continue` at the end of the loop
- double checks for `NULL`
- useless checks for `NULL` (cannot be `NULL`, because of earlier return)
- using `0` instead of `NULL`
- useless extra condition (`if (foo) return; if (!foo) { ...; }`)
- removing & in front of static functions passed as arguments
