GPS refactor & license text updates (#601)

- Split up `gps-generic-module` into:
  - `gps-generic-module` that contains only interfaces/configs/bindings (Apache license)
  - `gps-meshtastic-module` that contains an implementation (GPL license)
- Update `LICENSE.md` for changes, but also added clarifications
- Added licenses to directories where they were missing
- Changed license of some test projects from GPL to Apache.

# gps-generic-module
Kernel driver implementing the `GPS_TYPE`/`GpsApi` interface with for generic UART-connected GPS/GNSS receivers:
NMEA parsing for MTK, Airoha/AG33xx, ATGM336H/CASIC, Unicore UC6580 and u-blox 6/7/8/9/10 modules.
This module contains only the generic interfaces to implement a driver.
It is ported from [Meshtastic Firmware](https://github.com/MeshTastic/firmware), so it has a GPL v3.0 license.
It serves as an interface for other GPS implementations, such as `gps-meshtastic-module`.
The purpose is to provide an Apache-licensed interface while the implementation can be GPL-licensed.
