d915a14ef0 libc: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.
Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using mis-identified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

10b35e00c9 Remove stale DCE 1.1 pointers to the IBM site. The URLs aren't valid
anymore. This also fixes long line bugs caused by the lengthy URLs :-)

65393a863e Implement DCE 1.1 compliant UUID functions. Immediate use of these
functions is expected for uuidgen(1), mca(8) and gpt(8). Given the
generic use of UUIDs beyond the scope of the DCE 1.1 specification,
visibility of the data structure at all levels of the machine,
including firmware and the wish to not create a permanent build-
time FreeBSD-ism for DCE compliant applications by creating a new
library, it was decided that libc would be the least inappropriate
place. Also, because the UUID functions live in libc under IRIX as
well, we have maximized our portability and left as many options
open as possible.

This implementation introduces an extension not found in the
specification: the status parameter is allowed to be a NULL-
pointer. The reason for introducing the extension is because
the status is almost never of any use.

The manpage that's part of this commit is a minimal place-holder
and is further fleshed-out in the near future.
