Add logic to use V section entry in THE REST for identifying xen trees
Specifically:
* Move check until after the MAINTAINERS file has been read
* Add get_xen_maintainers_file_version() for check
* Remove top_of_tree as not needed any more
* Fail with extended error message when used out of tree

This change provides sufficient information to allow get_maintainer.pl /
add_maintainers.pl scripts to be run on xen sister repositories such as
mini-os.git, osstest.git, etc

This patch makes a few clarifications which were discussed on
IRC recently.
Specifically:
- Highlight the principle that license deviations
should be brought to the attention of maintainers
- Add a requirement for GPLv2 compatibility
- Restructure the document to highlight use-cases for
"New components" and "Importing code" clearer
- Add conventions and instructions for "New files"

Blktap2 has some complexity, as some files do not have (c) headers
and the directory did not have a COPYING file. At this stage, we
have not verified the intention of (c) holders. We may do this in
future, if the need arises.

Added a COPYING file as a boilerplate to explain license oddities in
this directory
Added a vtpm/COPYING file which contains MIT licensed files only
Added a vtpmmgr/README.source file which contains many BSD-3-Clause
files that originally came from tools/vtpm_manager

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.
