      Description

      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 modifies a few of MariaDB's docs so that Licensee is able
      		 
      to recognize the repository's license type. It renames the README's
      		 
      "License" section to "Licensing" and renames COPYING.thirdparty to
      		 
      THIRDPARTY.
      		 
       
      		 
      These changes allow Licensee to bypass both files when it
      		 
      scans the repo for license files, which thus allows Licensee to
      		 
      successfully identify the license type of MariaDB as GPL 2.0.
