Remove the extra copy of the GPL license and license copyright headers
from CONTRIBUTING and the top-level COPYING.
Mention of the LICENSES/ directory and also mention the SPDX tag.
SPDX support is still in progress and COPYING files in subdirectories
still need to be updated.

This file hasn't been touched since it was introduced in 2005 (c/s 0c6f36628)
and has a wildly obsolete shebang for Python 2.3. Most importantly for us is
that it isn't Python 3 compatible.
Drop the file entirely. Since the 2.3 days, automatic discovery of tests has
been included in standard functionality. Rewrite the test rule to use
"$(PYTHON) -m unittest discover" which is equivelent.
Dropping test.py drops the only piece of ZPL-2.0 code in the tree. Drop the
ancillary files, and adjust COPYING to match.

COPYING file:
The motivation of this change is to make it easier for new
contributors to conduct a license and patent review, WITHOUT
changing any licenses.
- Remove references to BSD-style licenses as we have more
common license exceptions and replace with "other license
stanzas"
- List the most common situations under which code is licensed
under licenses other than GPLv2 (section "Licensing Exceptions")
- List the most common non-GPLv2 licenses that are in use in
this repository based on a recent FOSSology scan (section
"Licensing Exceptions")
- List other license related conventions within the project
to make it easier to conduct a license review.
- Clarify the incoming license as its omission has confused
past contributors (section "Contributions")
CONTRIBUTION file:
The motivation of this file is to make it easier for contributors
to find contribution related resources. Add information on existing
license related conventions to avoid unintentional future licensing
issues. Provide templates for copyright headers for the most commonly
used licenses in this repository.

The only remaining mentions of these addresses are in COPYING files which I
haven't touched.
Some of the changed files are imports from elsewhere, however
filtering them out is tricky, I think it is tolerable to have these
files be modified here and then perhaps reverted on the next sync,
since it's only 1-2 lines and obvious what is going on.

Rename Xen public interfaces.
1. hypervisor-if.h is now xen.h
2. hypervisor-ifs/ directory is now:
<include/public/...> in Xen
<asm/xen-public/...> in Linux
<xen/...> in user space
