Installing patman with `cd ./tools/patman && pip install -e .` fails
with the error below.
As described in the error output below, the license line is not allowed
to be only defined in the setup.py. We remove the 'license' field
entirely, as the Python Packaging User Guide recommends using projects
classifiers instead[1] and we already set the GPL-2.0+ classifier.

When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.
In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.
This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

To make it easier to use patman on other projects add a distutils style
installer. Now patman can be installed with
cd u-boot/tools/patman && python setup.py install
There are also the usual distutils options for creating source/binary
distributions of patman.
