Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 0aff7b7584 docs: add spdx tags to all .md files
I have no idea if this is going to cause rendering problems, and it is fairly
hard to check. So let's just merge this, and if it github markdown processor
doesn't like it, revert.

# Code Quality Tools
The systemd project has a number of code quality tools set up in the source
tree and on the github infrastructure. Here's an incomprehensive list of the
available functionality:
1. Use `meson test -C build` to run the unit tests. Some tests are skipped if
no privileges are available, hence consider also running them with `sudo
meson test -C build`. A couple of unit tests are considered "unsafe" (as
they change system state); to run those too, build with `meson setup
-Dtests=unsafe`. Finally, some unit tests are considered to be very slow,
build them too with `meson setup -Dslow-tests=true`. (Note that there are a
couple of manual tests in addition to these unit tests.) (Also note: you can
change these flags for an already set up build tree, too, with "meson
configure -C build -D…".)
2. Use `./test/run-integration-tests.sh` to run the full integration test
suite. This will build OS images with a number of integration tests and run
them in nspawn and qemu. Requires root.
3. Use `./coccinelle/run-coccinelle.sh` to run all
[Coccinelle](http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) semantic patch scripts we ship. The
output will show false positives, hence take it with a pinch of salt.
4. Use `./tools/find-double-newline.sh recdiff` to find double newlines. Use
`./tools/find-double-newline.sh recpatch` to fix them. Take this with a grain
of salt, in particular as we generally leave foreign header files we include in
our tree unmodified, if possible.
5. Similar use `./tools/find-tabs.sh recdiff` to find TABs, and
`./tools/find-tabs.sh recpatch` to fix them. (Again, grain of salt, foreign
headers should usually be left unmodified.)
6. Use `meson compile -C build check-api-docs` to compare the list of exported
symbols of `libsystemd.so` and `libudev.so` with the list of man pages. Symbols
lacking documentation are highlighted.
7. Use `meson compile -C build update-hwdb` to automatically download and import the
PCI, USB and OUI databases into hwdb.
8. Use `meson compile -C build update-man-rules` to update the meson rules for
building man pages automatically from the docbook XML files included in
`man/`.
9. There are multiple CI systems in use that run on every github PR submission.
10. [Coverity](https://scan.coverity.com/) is analyzing systemd master in
regular intervals. The reports are available
[online](https://scan.coverity.com/projects/systemd).
11. [oss-fuzz](https://oss-fuzz.com/) is continuously fuzzing the
codebase. Reports are available
[online](https://oss-fuzz.com/v2/testcases?project=systemd).
12. Our tree includes `.editorconfig`, `.dir-locals.el` and `.vimrc` files, to
ensure that editors follow the right indentiation styles automatically.
13. When building systemd from a git checkout the build scripts will
automatically enable a git commit hook that ensures whitespace cleanliness.
14. [LGTM](https://lgtm.com/) analyzes every commit pushed to master. The list
of active alerts can be found
[here](https://lgtm.com/projects/g/systemd/systemd/alerts/?mode=list).
15. Each PR is automatically tested with [Address Sanitizer](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AddressSanitizer.html)
and [Undefined Behavior Sanitizer](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer.html).
See [Testing systemd using sanitizers](https://systemd.io/TESTING_WITH_SANITIZERS)
for more information.
16. Fossies provides [source code misspelling reports](https://fossies.org/features.html#codespell).
The systemd report can be found [here](https://fossies.org/linux/test/systemd-master.tar.gz/codespell.html).
Access to Coverity and oss-fuzz reports is limited. Please reach out to the
maintainers if you need access.
