Addresses #3285.
In line with the latest SciTools licensing guidelines, the license headers are much shorter and mostly reference the master file in the root directory.
Also in line with these guidelines, the COPYING.LESSER file has been refactored to be called LICENSE, while COPYING has been removed since it was not being referenced.
The years test in test_coding_standards.py has been replaced with a basic check that each file starts with the correct string.
