softfloat: Clarify license status

The code in the softfloat source files is under a mixture of
licenses: the original code and many changes from QEMU contributors
are under the base SoftFloat-2a license; changes from Stefan Weil
and RedHat employees are GPLv2-or-later; changes from Fabrice Bellard
are under the BSD license. Clarify this in the comments at the
top of each affected source file, including a statement about
the assumed licensing for future contributions, so we don't need
to remember to ask patch submitters explicitly to pick a license.
