Add a file defining mapping of SPDX-2.0 license identifiers to Gentoo
ebuild licenses. This was originally discussed on Gentoo Bugzilla [1],
the submitted to the gentoo-dev ml [2].
The proposed file uses the common key-value format used for
configuration files. Currently only `spdx-to-ebuild` section is defined
but other kinds of mapping can be added in the future. As described
in the top comment, it provides the ability to map SPDX-2.0 license
identifiers along with the `+` and `WITH` operators to arbitrary
Gentoo LICENSE strings (including all-of and any-of groups).
The initial list was based on cargo-ebuild's license.rs [3],
courtesy of Leonardo H. Neumann and Georgy Yakovlev. I have done some
changes, particularly removed some incorrect mappings and added more
variants from the same license groups (e.g. GPL variants). Ulrich
Müller has noticed a number of problems and given helpful suggestions.
A parser for this file format is implemented in pycargoebuild [4].
