This PR updates libjade to a dual license (previously CC0, now CC0 and Apache).

Motivation: allow libjade to be integrated by other libraries, for instance, open-quantum-safe/liboqs#1745

Note: I plan to propagate these changes to all branches in libjade.

I will request a review from libjade contributors so they can acknowledge this license update:

  • I can assign up to 15 reviewers to this PR; these will be the first 15 from git shortlog -sne --all
  • The remaining will be tagged in a comment, and they can react with a +1 if they are OK with the license change

My only contribution to libjade is updating a hash, so I do not think you need my approval, but here it is anyway.

Can someone please elaborate how the current CC0 license forbids to distribute libjade under the Apache license?
