gnutls: update legal info
GnuTLS core library is licensed under LGPLv2.1+ while gnutls-openssl library is licensed under GPLv3+. Annotate the license with components. Reviewed-by: Marcin Nowakowski <marcin.nowakowski@imgtec.com> Signed-off-by: Rahul Bedarkar <rahul.bedarkar@imgtec.com> [Thomas: - add comment about the license of the "core library" since some files seems to be mistakenly under LGPLv3+ even though the library is licensed under LGPLv2.1+. - add the README file in the license information, since it contains a lot of useful details.] Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>
