Relicense fully to Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception.

Browse Source 
Large parts of the code in regalloc2 are currently licensed under the
Mozilla Public License (MPL) 2.0, because they derive in meaningful
ways from the register allocator in IonMonkey, which is part of
Firefox. The relevant source files are marked as such, with references
to the files in the Firefox source tree.

The intent of the regalloc2 project was to port the register allocator
from Firefox to use in Cranelift, borrowing good technology and
improving on it in the spirit of open source.

However, Several use-cases of Cranelift require, or at least strongly
prefer, the Apache-2.0 license with the LLVM exception (matching the
license of Cranelift itself, and Bytecode Alliance projects
generally). While using this license is not strictly necessary for
regalloc2 to be usable (The MPL is an excellent open-source license!),
relicensing fully under this license to harmonize with the rest of
Cranelift and Bytecode Alliance codebases significantly widens
possibilities and reduces friction; then regalloc2 is "just another
part of Cranelift" and doesn't have to be treated specially.

The source in `src/ion/` specifically began as a fairly direct port of
the algorithms in the following files in the `mozilla-central`
repository (Firefox codebase):

* The bulk of the "backtracking allocator" algorithm:
  * `js/src/jit/BacktrackingAllocator.{cpp,h}`
* Helpers and definitions in the surrounding infrastructure:
  * `js/src/jit/RegisterAllocator.h`
  * `js/src/jit/RegisterAllocator.cpp`
  * `js/src/jit/StackSlotAllocator.h`
  * `js/src/jit/LIR.h`
* A few data structure implementations:
  * `js/src/ds/SplayTree.h`
  * `js/src/ds/PriorityQueue.h`

Subsequent work in improving regalloc2 has caused it to drift from the
direct port -- for example, it no longer uses splay trees or the
direct port of the priority queue above -- but it is of course very
clearly still a derivative work.

Analysis of the contributors to these files indicates that we need
signoff from the following folks:

* Mozilla Corp, for contributions made by Mozilla employees (the
  majority of the code). Communications with Mozilla (thanks
  @tschneidereit and @bholley for doing the work here!) indicate that
  @ekr is able to sign off when ready here.

* Andy Wingo, specifically for the work done in [Bug
  1620197](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1620197) and
  [Bug 1609057](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1609057) to
  generalize the stack allocator for a Wasm feature (multiple returns).

Additionally, since the initial port, we have had three contributions
from @Amanieu:
[#9](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/regalloc2/pull/9),
[#11](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/regalloc2/pull/11),
[#13](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/regalloc2/pull/13).

So, if everyone applicable is happy with this relicensing, this PR
removes the MPL-2.0 license in `src/ion/` and marks all files as
covered under `Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception`. Please let us know if
this is OK!

Signoffs:

- [ ] @ekr, for Mozilla's contributions
- [ ] @wingo, for contributions to original code in `mozilla-central`
- [ ] @Amanieu, for the three PRs linked above

Thanks!

applicable copyright doctrines of fair use, fair dealing, or other
equivalents.
2.7. Conditions
Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted
in Section 2.1.
3. Responsibilities
-------------------
3.1. Distribution of Source Form
All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any
Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under
the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source
Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this
License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not
attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code
Form.
3.2. Distribution of Executable Form
If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:
(a) such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code
Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of
the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code
Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more
than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and
(b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this
License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the
license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter
the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License.
3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work
You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice,
provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for
the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered
Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the
Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this
License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
License(s).
3.4. Notices
You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
(including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty,
or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to
the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.
3.5. Application of Additional Terms
You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on
behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any
such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by
You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any
liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional
disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
jurisdiction.
4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
---------------------------------------------------
If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to
statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must
be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered
Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute
or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a
recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.
5. Termination
--------------
5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically
if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become
compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular
Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such
Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an
ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the
non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have
come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the
first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License
from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after
Your receipt of the notice.
5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent
infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions,
counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to
You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section
2.1 of this License shall terminate.
5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all
end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which
have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License
prior to termination shall survive termination.

* *
************************************************************************
************************************************************************
* *
* 7. Limitation of Liability *
* -------------------------- *
* *
* Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether tort *
* (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, shall any *
* Contributor, or anyone who distributes Covered Software as *
* permitted above, be liable to You for any direct, indirect, *
* special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character *
* including, without limitation, damages for lost profits, loss of *
* goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any *
* and all other commercial damages or losses, even if such party *
* shall have been informed of the possibility of such damages. This *
* limitation of liability shall not apply to liability for death or *
* personal injury resulting from such party's negligence to the *
* extent applicable law prohibits such limitation. Some *
* jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of *
* incidental or consequential damages, so this exclusion and *
* limitation may not apply to You. *
* *
************************************************************************
8. Litigation
-------------
Any litigation relating to this License may be brought only in the
courts of a jurisdiction where the defendant maintains its principal
place of business and such litigation shall be governed by laws of that
jurisdiction, without reference to its conflict-of-law provisions.
Nothing in this Section shall prevent a party's ability to bring
cross-claims or counter-claims.
9. Miscellaneous
----------------
This License represents the complete agreement concerning the subject
matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
necessary to make it enforceable. Any law or regulation which provides
that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter
shall not be used to construe this License against a Contributor.
10. Versions of the License
---------------------------
10.1. New Versions
Mozilla Foundation is the license steward. Except as provided in Section
10.3, no one other than the license steward has the right to modify or
publish new versions of this License. Each version will be given a
distinguishing version number.
10.2. Effect of New Versions
You may distribute the Covered Software under the terms of the version
of the License under which You originally received the Covered Software,
or under the terms of any subsequent version published by the license
steward.
10.3. Modified Versions
If you create software not governed by this License, and you want to
create a new license for such software, you may create and use a
modified version of this License if you rename the license and remove
any references to the name of the license steward (except to note that
such modified license differs from this License).
10.4. Distributing Source Code Form that is Incompatible With Secondary
Licenses
If You choose to distribute Source Code Form that is Incompatible With
Secondary Licenses under the terms of this version of the License, the
notice described in Exhibit B of this License must be attached.
