[PATCH v3] drm: uapi: Use SPDX in DRM core uAPI headers

[Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart+renesas@ideasonboard.com>]

The DRM core uAPI headers are licensed under the MIT license, and carry
copies of the license with slight variations. Replace them with SPDX
headers.

Following a discussion with Simona Vetter on this topic, add a
clarification in the drm-uapi.rst file that independent closed-source
userspace implementations of software using the DRM uAPI are accepted,
as allowed by the MIT license.

Dave, could I get your ack on this ? Please also let me know if it
should go through drm-misc or if you prefer picking it up.
