KUDU-1315. Clean up licensing docs to follow ASF guidelines

This makes a few changes and improvements to our documentation
around licensing:

* I found a few cases where we had missed adding new dependencies
  to our thirdparty license list (eg bitshuffle, python, gcc, gmock, nvml). I
  researched the licenses and added these.

* Per ASF policy, our thirdparty dependencies are considered "non-bundled"
  in source distributions, since they're downloaded at build-time rather than
  part of the release artifact. Given that, I moved their licensing information
  to a separate thirdparty/LICENSE.txt file.

* To better clarify things, I separated out the build-time-only dependencies
  into a new section at the bottom of the thirdparty/LICENSE.txt file. This is
  important because our build dependencies include some unsuitably- licensed
  items such as gcc. ASF policy is to allow such using such dependencies during
  the build, but does not allow distributing them in source or binary forms[1].

* I tried to standardize the formatting of the way in which we list all
  dependencies to make it easier for a consumer to read through. This included
  adding pointers to the original source.
