* docs(license): define the combined license and fix the NOTICE 4(d) claim (MUL-5558)

Addresses the two must-fixes from review on #6206.

Must-fix 1 — the file held Multica conditions 1-2 followed by Apache
sections 1-9, and Apache section 1 defines "License" as sections 1-9 of
the document. So "a copy of this License" in section 4(a) and the inbound
terms in section 5 could both be read as reaching only the Apache half,
leaving downstream recipients and future contributors unsure which set of
terms actually binds them.

Split the file into `Part I — Additional Conditions` and `Part II —
Incorporated Apache License 2.0 Text` so the two "1 / 2" numberings no
longer collide, and add condition 3 as the operative bridge: both parts
together are the Multica License, "this License" in Part II means the
whole file (naming 4(a) and 5 explicitly), Part I controls on conflict,
and redistribution must deliver the complete file. Condition 2 becomes
"By submitting a contribution ... you agree" instead of the non-binding
"you should agree", gains 2c pinning contributions to the whole license,
and drops the stale "open-source agreement" wording. The same inbound
terms now also appear in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Must-fix 2 — NOTICE claimed section 4(d) requires reproducing its entire
contents. It does not: 4(d) covers the relevant attribution notices, and
a NOTICE cannot create obligations of its own. Replaced with a statement
that the file is informational and does not modify the license.

Conditions 1a-1d are untouched. The Apache 2.0 text is untouched and
still hashes to cfc7749b96f63bd31c3c42b5c471bf756814053e847c10f3eb003417bc523d30.
