Remove license pointer text from NOTICE
Justin Mclean noted during the 2.2.0-rc1 IPMC vote that the NOTICE files
of the cloudberry-backup and cloudberry-go-libs components carry Apache
license boilerplate, and that NOTICE is reserved for notifications that
are legally required. He did not review this repository, but the same
issue is here in a milder form.
The text came from upstream: github.com/greenplum-db/pxf-archive ships a
NOTICE whose body is the VMware attribution followed by two paragraphs
pointing at the license, and both were copied in when the code was
donated.
Section 4(d) of the Apache License asks for "the attribution notices
contained within such NOTICE file", not the file itself, and
infra.apache.org/licensing-howto.html is explicit that a bundled
dependency's NOTICE "must be analyzed and the relevant portions bubbled
up", and that one should "keep NOTICE as brief and simple as possible"
and "not add anything to NOTICE which is not legally required".
The two paragraphs removed here:

are not attribution notices. The first restates the license, which
LICENSE already conveys; the second points at LICENSE for subcomponent
terms, which is where a reader would look anyway.
The Apache HAWQ and VMware attributions are untouched.
