There are some files under Documentation which uses
deprecated versions of GNU Free Documentation License, on
both versions 1.1 and 1.2.
On all cases, the license is with no Invariant Sections,
Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts.
Add the text file for them, as we'll start using SPDX
for those.

Just like the CDDL the Apache license and the MPL must only be used as
a choice in additional to an GPL2 compatible license. Copy over the
boilerplate from the CDDL file to the other two after fixing it up to
make it clear the licenses need to be GPL2 compatible, not just the
more generic GPL compatible. For example the Apache 2 license is GPL3
compatible, but that doesn't matter for the kernel.
Also move these licenses to a separate directory and document the rules
in license-rules.rst.

A recent commit added SPDX identifiers to the SuperH low level library code
which originates from GCC. This code is licensed under the GPL 2.0 or later
with the GCC runtime library exception.
Unfortunately the authors did not bother to add the exception text to the
LICENSES directory so spdxcheck fails with:
arch/sh/lib/ashiftrt.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0
arch/sh/lib/ashlsi3.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0
arch/sh/lib/ashrsi3.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0
arch/sh/lib/lshrsi3.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0
arch/sh/lib/movmem.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0
arch/sh/lib/udiv_qrnnd.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0
arch/sh/lib/udivsi3.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0
arch/sh/lib/udivsi3_i4i-Os.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0
arch/sh/lib/udivsi3_i4i.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0
Add the exception text along with the required tags which allow automated
checking.

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"This is a fairly typical cycle for documentation. There's some welcome
readability improvements for the formatted output, some LICENSES
updates including the addition of the ISC license, the removal of the
unloved and unmaintained 00-INDEX files, the deprecated APIs document
from Kees, more MM docs from Mike Rapoport, and the usual pile of typo
fixes and corrections"

Using non-GPL licenses for our documentation is rather problematic,
as it can directly include other files, which generally are GPLv2
licensed and thus not compatible.
Remove this license now that the only user (idr.rst) is gone to avoid
people semi-accidentally using it again.

Add the full text of the ISC license to the kernel tree. It was copied
directly from:
https://spdx.org/licenses/ISC.html
With the mention of "ISC" in the warranty disclaimer replaced with
"THE AUTHOR" as done in the ISC license headers used in the ath10k and
brcmfmac wifi drivers.

The only reason we have the CDDL-1.0 license text around is for some
dual-licensed files from virtualbox. New code should not use this license.
Add a note about this and change the example tag to be dual-licensed.

The infiniband code uses a variant of the OpenIB license. This license is
BSD-2-Clause with the MIT disclaimer. The linux kernel uses this license
extensively throughout the driver subsystem since 2005. Note that the
OpenIB.org license is a true match to BSD-2-Clause.
The license text was copied from:

Quite some files have been flagged with the new GPL-2.0-only and
GPL-2.0-or-later identifiers which replace the original GPL-2.0 and
GPL-2.0+ identifiers in the SPDX license identifier specification, but the
identifiers are not mentioned as valid in the GPL-2.0 license file.
Add them to the license file and to the Linux-syscall-note exception to
make everything consistent again.
