This relicenses the libbtrfsutil library to LGPLv2.1+ from LGPLv3.
People that have contributed non-trivial changes acknowledged the change
and are listed below.
There's a potential licensing conflict with the 'btrfs' utility that is
GPLv2 and statically links libbtrfsutil, this is not a valid combination
per the compatibility matrix as found in
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#AllCompatibility or
http://gplv3.fsf.org/dd3-faq .
We also have an explicit request to change the license [1] (issue #323)
from LGPLv3 to allow use in environments that don't like GPLv3. Though
the library license is not GPLv3, the full text of the license is in the
repository and the 'lesser' part is an addendum. This was perhaps a bit
confusing, nevertheless this gets clarified as well.

[BUG]
When compiling btrfs-progs with libbtrfsutil on a python3.8 system, we
got the following warning:
error.c:169:2: warning: initialization of ‘long int’ from ‘void *’ makes integer from pointer without a cast [-Wint-conversion]
169 | NULL, /* tp_print */
| ^~~~
error.c:169:2: note: (near initialization for ‘BtrfsUtilError_type.tp_vectorcall_offset’)
[CAUSE]
C definition of PyTypeObject changed in python 3.8.
Now at the old tp_print, we have tp_vectorcall_offset.
So we got above warning.
[FIX]
C has designated initialization, which can assign values to each named
member, without hard coding to match the offset.
Also, uninitialized values will be 0, so we can also save a lot of
unneeded "= 0" or "= NULL" lines.
Just use that awesome feature to avoid any future breakage.

The C libbtrfsutil library isn't very useful for scripting, so we also
want bindings for Python. Writing unit tests in Python is also much
easier than doing so in C. Only Python 3 is supported; if someone really
wants Python 2 support, they can write their own bindings. This commit
is just the scaffolding.
