Move all the software license stuff to a central location.
This leaves an appropriatesummary on the website pages, committer's
guide and contributing pages, and augments license-guide with
information that was on those pages (though the license exceptions
moves to software-license).
It's mostly word motion with light edits.

15.1R: Use native redirect instead of duplication
This will reduce maintenance burden going forward, also it serves to
demonstrate that we can trivially implement redirects in the tree vs
doing other things that are more labor intensive.

handbook/jails: Small fixes to the Linux jail section
- Add missing containers/ path in one instance
- Move the jail.conf creation to the beginning of this section (slightly
modified from the original patch), because it fits better there
instead of letting the reader know about it when starting the jail
- Use sh as the shell executed when running jexec to ensure it is a jail
that is present in Linux
- Rephrase a sentence to avoid a comma and instead use "and" to connect
the two packages to install (also modified from the original
submission)

website: Turn on verbose asciidoctor build
This shows a lot of typos in anchors. Enable it globally so
people see the typos as they are making them and can fix them.
handbook/virtualization: Fix copy&pasto in driver name
The VMSVGA driver is the one that targets VMware guests, not VBoxSVGA.
Before this fix, the sentence would contradict the one before it. I must
have copied the wrong driver name when I made the original change.
