GDAL support for reporting applicable licenses and credit notices

Description

For GDAL 1.5.0 it is desirable for GDAL to provide a means to satisfy license display and credit requirements. To that end I propose to add a LICENSE.TXT in the gdal source directly listing all licenses and credit notices. Furthermore I propose that this file get installed with GDAL data files (/usr/local/share/gdal for instance) and that the GDALVersionInfo("LICENSE") call should report it. Also the --license commandline switch to gdal and ogr utilities should report it.
