    edit Brooklyn license info so that GitHub recognizes it

    Hello! šŸ‘‹
    
    (CCing @dankohn who has requested this work so that the license will appear 
correctly in https://landscape.cncf.io/selected=apache-brooklyn)
    
    GitHub uses a library called Licensee to identify a project's license
    type. It shows this information in the status bar and via the API if it
    can unambiguously identify the license.
    
    This commit updates the LICENSE file so that it begins with the full
    text of the Apache license (including the Appendix). The text that
    preceded the beginning of the license text has been transferred to a
    new "License" section in the README.
    
    Collectively, these changes allow Licensee to successfully identify the
    license type of Brooklyn as Apache 2.0.

> Hello!
> GitHub uses a library called Licensee to identify a project's license type. 
> It shows this information in the status bar and via the API if it can 
> unambiguously identify the license. Licensee is currently unable to recognizeĀ 
> Apache Brooklyn'sĀ license type.
> This is in part due to the fact that the LICENSE file doesn't contain the 
> _full_ text of the Apache license (i.e., it is missing the Appendix at the 
> end of the license).
> A simple fix might involve the following steps:
>  * restoring the Appendix to the end of the Apache license text in the 
> LICENSE file
>  * removing all text preceding the beginning of the license text in the 
> LICENSE file
>  * updating the README to include a "License" section, which would store the 
> text that was removed from the beginning of the LICENSE file. ThisĀ couldĀ read 
> as follows:Ā 
> {noformat}
> ### License

> {noformat}
> (For repositories licensed with the Apache License, Licensee is unable to 
> detect theĀ correct license type unless the LICENSE file begins with the full 
> text of the Apache license.)
> For comparison purposes, here is the output that I get when I run Licensee 
> locally onĀ Apache Brooklyn's remote repo:
