The goal is to solve confusion of the "All rights reserved" for licensing
code under an open-source license.
The phrase "All rights reserved" comes from a historical convention that
required this phrase for the copyright protection to apply. This convention
is no longer relevant.
However, even though the phrase has no meaning in establishing the copyright
it has not lost meaning in terms of licensing.
This change makes it so code under the Blender Foundation copyright does
not use "all rights reserved". This is also how the GPL license itself
states how to apply it to the source code:
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software ...
This change does not change copyright notice in cases when the copyright
is dual (BF and an author), or just an author of the code. It also does
mot change copyright which is inherited from NaN Holding BV as it needs
some further investigation about what is the proper way to handle it.

Seems like the new audio channel api was not as backwards compatible as we thought.
Therefore we need to reintroduce the usage of the old api to make older ffmpeg version be able to compile Blender.
This change is only intended to stick around for two releases or so. After that we hope that most Linux distros ship
ffmpeg >=5.0 so we can switch to it.

Use a shorter/simpler license convention, stops the header taking so
much space.

While most of the source tree has been included
- `./extern/` was left out.
- `./intern/cycles` & `./intern/atomic` are also excluded because they

The ffmpeg, guardedalloc and blenlib are quite isolated and putting them in
their own executable separate from blender_test is faster for development than
linking the entire blender_tests executable.
For Cycles, this also bundles all the unit tests into one executable.

And make them part of the blender_test runner. The one exception is blenlib
performance tests, which we don't want to run by default. They remain in their
own executable.
