This changes the LICENSE file and adds license headers to most files
to relicense under dual Apache-2.0 and MIT. This is helpful in that
we retain the patent grant issued under Apache-2.0-licensed work,
avoiding some sticky patent issues, while still allowing users who
are more comfortable with the simpler MIT license to use that.

See #659 for
relicensing statements from code authors.

May have missed a few files, but LICENSE.md is pretty clear that that doesn't matter.

Just want confirmation from @joemphilips before merge.
