docs: relicense from GPL-3.0 to AGPL-3.0 - #121

Conversation
`MANSPIDER` is a Black Lantern original, so this is the copyright holder relicensing its own work. The notices carry `either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version`, and GPLv3 section 13 already permits AGPLv3 interoperation, so making the AGPL grant explicit needs no contributor sign-off. The program name and copyright line already filled in on the old appendix are carried over verbatim, so the file is the AGPL-3.0 text with this repository's attribution rather than a byte copy of `bbot`. The manifest moves in the same commit. A tree that ships an AGPL-3.0 file next to a manifest naming something else is self-contradictory at the point a packager reads it: `pyproject.toml`. Refs #151

What
LICENSEmoves from GPL-3.0 to AGPL-3.0.pyproject.tomlmoves with it, in the same commit.Why
Every Black Lantern original carries AGPL-3.0. This repository is an original,
not a fork, so this is the copyright holder relicensing its own work. The
notices carry
either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version, and GPLv3 section 13 already permits AGPLv3 interoperation, so makingthe AGPL grant explicit needs no contributor sign-off.
Attribution preserved
The old appendix had a real program name and copyright line filled in, not the
upstream placeholder. Both are carried over verbatim into the AGPL-3.0
appendix, so this file is not a byte copy of the one in
bbot. Dropping in thebbotfile wholesale would have deleted the attribution.Manifest
A tree that ships an AGPL-3.0 file next to a manifest naming something else is
self-contradictory at the point a packager reads it, so both edits belong in
one commit rather than a follow-up.
