docs: add README.licensing 

There is not only one unique license for all code in utl-linux-ng. We
have mix of utils with Public Domain, BSD, GPLv2 or GPLv2+. This thing
should be more transparent to avoid misunderstanding.

The project utils-linux-ng doesn't use same license for all code. There are
code with:
* GPLv2+ (GNU General Public License version 2, or any later version)
* GPLv2 (GNU General Public License version 2)
* BSD License
* Public Domain
Please, check source code for more details. A license is usually at the start
of each source file.
The /COPYING file (GPLv2+) is the default license for code without an explicitly
defined license.
