GitHub only detects a licence file at the root of a repository, so GeoWebCache currently shows no licence on its repository page, even though the code is LGPL-3.0.

This adds a copy of the licence text at the root, unchanged from geowebcache/LICENSE.txt. Running GitHub's own licence detector (licensee) over it reports LGPL-3.0 with 100% confidence. Nothing else changes, and the original file stays where it is.

Required by oss-scanner, see also #1606
