Relicense 16 more packages as BSD3

[infotroph]

Description

Updating the license files upon realizing we have agreement from all the contributors to these packages, who I will tag below to say: Thank you for all your work on these packages and for agreeing to the change! We have your agreement on file, so you don't have to take any further action for this PR.

This PR takes us well past the halfway point on relicensing all the PEcAn packages! Special thanks to those of y'all who've been tagged on every one of these PRs -- we're not done yet but getting close.

Kept both licenses in this file, just swapped BSD3 to the top now that we're past the halfway point

[infotroph]

This is the only package so far where I have edited copyright holders in DESCRIPTION, because it's the only one where I deleted headers from R files that listed anyone other than UI/NCSA as a copyright holder.

As a separate project that doesn't need to tag everyone a zillion times, we could consider going back through to (1) check whether BU / UA / others need to be identified by name as copyright holders of other packages, and (2) update years as needed to indicate the full range of edit dates.

I'd recommend dropping the role rather than adding it elsewhere or expanding it to other universities or institutions. Blame says @robkooper added this here b0dd245 3 years ago, which is well after all of us except Rob left UIUC and I don't recall us collectively agreeing to give UIUC or NCSA copywrite permissions to the code. Seems like that should be granted to the PEcAn project, same as the licence

Do we want to assign the license to the PEcAn Project at some point? Since this is created across universities and companies now.
