Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 11a1589223 tree-wide: drop license boilerplate
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.

I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.

<title>Description</title>
<para><function>udev_new()</function> allocates a new udev context
object and returns a pointer to it. This object is opaque and must
not be accessed by the caller via different means than functions
provided by libudev. Initially, the reference count of the context
is 1. You can acquire further references, and drop gained references
via <function>udev_ref()</function> and
<function>udev_unref()</function>. Once the reference count hits 0,
the context object is destroyed and freed.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, <function>udev_new()</function> returns a pointer
to the allocated udev context. On failure, <constant>NULL</constant>
is returned. <function>udev_ref()</function> returns the argument
that it was passed, unmodified. <function>udev_unref()</function>
always returns <constant>NULL</constant>.</para>
