Subject: [PATCH bpf 2/2] bpf, doc: add note for libbpf's stand-alone build

Given this came up couple of times, add a note to libbpf's readme
about the semi-automated mirror for a stand-alone build which is
officially managed by BPF folks. While at it, also explicitly state
the libbpf license in the readme file.

+=================
+
+Under https://github.com/libbpf/libbpf there is a (semi-)automated
+mirror of the mainline's version of libbpf for a stand-alone build.
+
+However, all changes to libbpf's code base must be upstreamed through
+the mainline kernel tree.
