[PULL,06/17] python/aqmp: relicense as LGPLv2+

Commit Message

I am the sole author of all of the async QMP code (python/qemu/aqmp)
with the following exceptions:

python/qemu/aqmp/qmp_shell.py and python/qemu/aqmp/legacy.py were
written by Luiz Capitulino (et al) and are already licensed separately
as GPLv2 (only).

aqmp_tui.py was written by Niteesh Babu G S and is licensed as GPLv2+.

I wish to relicense as LGPLv2+ in order to provide as much flexibility
as I reasonably can, while retaining a copyleft license. It is my belief
that LGPLv2+ is a suitable license for the Python ecosystem that aligns
with the goals and philosophy of the QEMU project.

The intent is to eventually drop legacy.py, leaving only library code
that is LGPLv2+.
