Update LICENSE to standard BSD 3-clause license text (#1141)

Approved by the copyright holders.

The historical "OpenFlow" license was adopted for harmony
with the OpenFlow project and associated software. Mininet
has always been BSD-licensed, but we're adopting the standard
license text that is recommended/approved by OSI and
automatically recognized by github.
