edit SaltStack license info so that GitHub recognizes it 
GitHub uses a library called Licensee to identify a project's license
type. It shows this information in the status bar and via the API if it
can unambiguously identify the license.

This commit modifies a few of SaltStack's docs so that Licensee is able
to recognize the repository's license type. LICENSE has been updated to
contain the full text of the Apache license. COPYING has been removed;
the info regarding external module licensing is now stored at the bottom
of LICENSE.

This commit also adds a "License" section to the README to clarify the
licensing for SaltStack as well as for external modules.

The update to LICENSE and the consolidation of COPYING with LICENSE
allow Licensee to successfully identify the license type of SaltStack as
Apache.

What is SaltStack?

SaltStack makes software for complex systems management at scale. SaltStack is the company that created and maintains the Salt Open project and develops and sells SaltStack Enterprise software, services and support. Easy enough to get running in minutes, scalable enough to manage tens of thousands of servers, and fast enough to communicate with them in seconds.

Salt is a new approach to infrastructure management built on a dynamic communication bus. Salt can be used for data-driven orchestration, remote execution for any infrastructure, configuration management for any app stack, and much more.

Security Advisory

For historical reasons, Salt requires PyCrypto as a "lowest common denominator". However, PyCrypto is unmaintained and best practice is to manually upgrade to use a more maintained library such as PyCryptodome. See Issue #52674 and Issue #54115 for more info
