Modify the disclaimer header in each of source files to include a link to Apache 2 License #155

Description

@armiol

Spine is licensed under Apache 2 License. Its copy is located in the root of each Spine repository.

However, the headers of Spine source files list only the disclaimer text along with the copyright notice. In order to avoid any confusion, we should explicitly mention the Apache 2 license in each of the disclaimer headers. That would allow an arbitrary reader to answer any questions on licensing without having to navigate to the repo root and browsing for the LICENSE file.

So, in scope of this issue we should modify the header text to be as follows:

/*

 *
 * Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License");
 * you may not use this file except in compliance with the License.

 * modification, must retain the above copyright notice and the following

 * SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT
 * LIMITED TO, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; LOSS OF USE,

 * THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT

 */

The corresponding changes must be done in:

  1. IDEA configuration files — i.e. in the templates for source file header (Java, JS, Protobuf, Kotlin etc).
  2. The GitHub template repo.
  3. Files in each of Spine repositories — by applying the updated value of the header via IDEA.

The pull requests should follow, each including the link to this issue.
