license: removes copyright year and uses SPDX ID (#220)

As a small project, we have to conserve resources and not sign up for work that isn't required. I've recently realized many commercial and/or CNCF projects both use SPDX IDs and also don't bother with copyright year. If their legal team is ok with this, surely a volunteer team without access to one, should be, too! Doing so accomplishes the following:

* significantly increases readability of files, particularly small ones
* removes beginning of year maintenance, which cause a lot of FUD last year. IIRC some deployment failed and hours were spent in spite of docs.
* eliminates the need to do a full source check out, just to satisfy the license plugin. This means we can use actions/checkout defaults.

Same as openzipkin/zipkin-reporter-java#257

-## First release of the year
-
-The license plugin verifies license headers of files include a copyright notice indicating the years a file was affected.
-This information is taken from git history. There's a once-a-year problem with files that include version numbers (pom.xml).
-When a release tag is made, it increments version numbers, then commits them to git. On the first release of the year,
-further commands will fail due to the version increments invalidating the copyright statement. The way to sort this out is
-the following:
-
-Before you do the first release of the year, move the SNAPSHOT version back and forth from whatever the current is.
-In-between, re-apply the licenses.
-```bash
-$ ./mvnw versions:set -DnewVersion=1.3.3-SNAPSHOT -DgenerateBackupPoms=false
-$ ./mvnw com.mycila:license-maven-plugin:format
-$ ./mvnw versions:set -DnewVersion=1.3.2-SNAPSHOT -DgenerateBackupPoms=false
-$ git commit -am"Adjusts copyright headers for this year"
