msg.c/h: partially change license to LGPL 

msg.c is "partial" due to "michael", whose work can be changed to LGPL
only once the core is LGPL. It's explained in the Copyright file. I
prefer to do the relicensing incrementally (due to the overwhelming
workload). Changing the license before that happens would be legally
questionable, but nothing can stop us from essentially marking it as
"will be LGPL".

All authors have agreed to LGPL, with the following exceptions:

9df11ee8bf: the author (probably) didn't agree, but the line that is
added is later fully removed.

35e90f1556: was not asked, but all iconv code was 100% removed from the
mp_msg mechanism (we alwas require UTF-8 now).

4e4f3f806e: the change by michael.

50a86fcc34: the identify variable was move, and completely removed the
latest in commit 48bd03dd91.

1f6c494641: did not agree, but due to a major mp_msg change the added
line became unnecessary and was removed.

da63498bf9: was not reachable, but the MPlayer GUI is gone from mpv
anyway (also commit fc4d6e617d removed these specific additions a long
time ago).

- sub/osd_font.otf is LGPLv2.1+
- some tests under waftools/fragments/ might be GPLv2+
- version.sh is GPLv2+
Some files are marked with "Almost LGPL." These files are GPL, but all authors
have agreed to relicense them to LGPL. the problem is that one of the authors is
Michael Niedermayer, who cited the following conditions for relicensing:
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2016-September/073535.html
We assume the first 3 conditions are fulfilled. The last condition can be
interpreted as that his code can be changed to LGPL only as soon as the "core"
of mpv changes to LGPL. We interpret "core" as something minimal, that can
actually be built and run, with all GPL code disabled.
