Switch to LGPLv2.1+

[IAlibay]

Whilst the original code contribution has been accepted as LGPLv2.1+, we have to relicense this MDAKit.

• We have a contribution from @rodpollet which does not have a relicensing agreement, which we will need before merging this PR.

I agree to the relicensing under LGPLv2.1+.

I'll try to contact @rodpollet . I am blocking until we have their agreement.

[IAlibay]

@orbeckst I've just emailed @rodpollet

Also I'm going to ignore the windows failures for now - I believe these will fix themselves once we release a new version of MDAnalysis.

@fiona-naughton @ianmkenney if you can approve the relicense this would be great.

[orbeckst]

Block until we have @rodpollet 's agreement to the license change.

Just noticed that the license is also mentioned in README.md under the "Copyright" section, so it also needs to be updated there (pathsimanaysis and mdahole2 both also have the old license info in the README, I can make a quick some PRs for them)
