Add license file
This was requested on #7 and it would also allow reusing content on Wikipedia.
I asked MZ about adding a license here by email and he said he gave his permission for GPL3 or a Creative Commons license (CC-BY-SA-4.0, for example) suggesting that the latter may be more appropriate given that a lot of the stuff around here is content, not code.
We might want to do something like what endless-sky itself does, and use GPL for the code and CC-BY-SA-4 for the non-code stuff (things like screenshots or sprite images are CC-BY-SA-4 already).
MZ's permission covers the person who I think is responsible for most of the stuff here, but there are some others we'll need permission from. Off the top of my head, @Amazinite and @Saugia have written recent release blog posts, and @beccabunny has also written a blog post. There are likely others we'll need to ask, as well.
I've switched to CC-BY-SA-4.0 per warp-core's comment. CC-BY-SA-4.0 content can be converted to GPLv3 but not the other way around. https://creativecommons.org/2015/10/08/cc-by-sa-4-0-now-one-way-compatible-with-gplv3/

Contributor Approval Received? @CodeDraken ✔️
I added nothing, but you have my approval anyway 😂
You have my approval too.
However, that contributor list includes some very small and/or old contributions (such as mine). Maybe you don't need approval from all of them.
