libxenvchan: Change license of header from Lesser GPL v2.1 to BSD
As the xen/COPYING file says:
"A few files are licensed under both GPL and a weaker BSD-style
license. This includes all files within the subdirectory
include/public, as described in include/public/COPYING. All such files
include the non-GPL license text as a source-code comment. Although
the license text refers generically to "the software", the non-GPL
license applies *only* to those source files that explicitly include
the non-GPL license text."
The libxenvchan.h is under xen/include/public/io directory
and the xen/include/public/COPYING says:
"XEN NOTICE
==========
This copyright applies to all files within this subdirectory and its
subdirectories:
include/public/*.h
include/public/hvm/*.h
include/public/io/*.h
The intention is that these files can be freely copied into the source
tree of an operating system when porting that OS to run on Xen. Doing
so does *not* cause the OS to become subject to the terms of the GPL.
All other files in the Xen source distribution are covered by version
2 of the GNU General Public License except where explicitly stated
otherwise within individual source files.
"
Having the libxenvchan.h as Lesser GPL v2.1 where the COPYING file
says otherwise is confusing to say at least.
Upon consulting with the authors of libxenvchan they said:
"FWIW Neither I, nor ITL staff (as author of original libvchan library)
have anything against converting it to the BSD-style licence."

so as such lets change it.

[in subsequent email]:
Wei points out that this ought also to include Keir Fraser's
contribution, which was (only) in 2012.

In a subsequent mail, Wei also points out that David Scott's
contribution is covered by Ian's ack.
