For the uncommon items: Go through the tree and remove sccs tags that
didn't fit any nice pattern. If in the neighborhood, other SCM tags were
removed when they were detritis of long-ago CVS somehow in the early
mists of the project. Some adjacent copyrights stringswere removed (they
duplicated the copyright notices in the file). This also removed
non-standard formations of omission of SCCS tags (usually by adding an
extra #if 0 somewhere.
After this commit, a number of strings tagged with the 'what' @(#)
prefix remain, but they are primarily copyright notices.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
Initially, only tag files that use BSD 4-Clause "Original" license.

I was considering committing all these patches one by one, but as
discussed with brooks@, there is no need to do this. If we ever
need/want to merge these changes back, it is still possible to do this
per application.
