[Global] Clarify license as Apache 2.0 with LLVM Exceptions (llvm#56)

As discussed with Chris Lattner in llvm#54, this was always the intent.

The file include/circt/Dialect/FIRRTL/Passes.h already indicated the LLVM exceptions
apply.

This will be posted to discourse. If you are a significant contributor and
object, we need to hear from you.

+---- LLVM Exceptions to the Apache 2.0 License ----
+
+As an exception, if, as a result of your compiling your source code, portions
+of this Software are embedded into an Object form of such source code, you
+may redistribute such embedded portions in such Object form without complying
+with the conditions of Sections 4(a), 4(b) and 4(d) of the License.
+
+In addition, if you combine or link compiled forms of this Software with
+software that is licensed under the GPLv2 ("Combined Software") and if a
+court of competent jurisdiction determines that the patent provision (Section
+3), the indemnity provision (Section 9) or other Section of the License
+conflicts with the conditions of the GPLv2, you may retroactively and
+prospectively choose to deem waived or otherwise exclude such Section(s) of
+the License, but only in their entirety and only with respect to the Combined
+Software.

+==============================================================================
+Software from third parties included in the LLVM Project:
+==============================================================================
+The LLVM Project contains third party software which is under different license
+terms. All such code will be identified clearly using at least one of two
+mechanisms:
+1) It will be in a separate directory tree with its own `LICENSE.txt` or
+   `LICENSE` file at the top containing the specific license and restrictions
+   which apply to that software, or
+2) It will contain specific license and restriction terms at the top of every
+   file.
