Instead of lengthy blurbs, switch to single-line, machine-readable
standardized (https://spdx.dev) license identifiers. The Linux kernel
switched long ago, so there is strong precedent.
Three cases are handled: AGPL-only, Apache-only, and dual licensed.
For the latter case, I chose (AGPL-3.0-or-later and Apache-2.0),
reasoning that our changes are extensive enough to apply our license.
The changes we applied mechanically with a script, except to
licenses/README.md.
Closes#9937
compile_commands.json (a.k.a. "compdb",
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/JSONCompilationDatabase.html) is intended
to help stand-alone C-family LSP servers index the codebase as
precisely as possible.
The actively maintained LSP servers with good C++ support are:
- Clangd (https://clangd.llvm.org/)
- CCLS (https://github.com/MaskRay/ccls)
This change causes a successful invocation of configure.py to create a
unified Scylla+Seastar+Abseil compdb for every selected build mode,
and to leave a valid symlink in the source root (if a valid symlink
already exists, it will be left alone).
