Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 11a1589223 tree-wide: drop license boilerplate
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.

I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.

<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd-detect-virt</command> detects execution in
a virtualized environment. It identifies the virtualization
technology and can distinguish full machine virtualization from
container virtualization. <filename>systemd-detect-virt</filename>
exits with a return value of 0 (success) if a virtualization
technology is detected, and non-zero (error) otherwise. By default,
any type of virtualization is detected, and the options
<option>--container</option> and <option>--vm</option> can be used
to limit what types of virtualization are detected.</para>
<para>When executed without <option>--quiet</option> will print a
short identifier for the detected virtualization technology. The
following technologies are currently identified:</para>
