We had information in both README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md about Mbed TLS licensing,
but the information in CONTRIBUTING.md was missing that authors still need to
accept that their contributions may be distributed under both Apache 2.0 and
GPLv2-or-later.
Move all but the most high-level “Mbed TLS files are provided under the
Apache-2.0 license” statement to CONTRIBUTING.md, and tidy up the text a bit.

Make testing and coding standards separate bullet points.
For the coding standards, add a "must", since some of it is now enforced on
the CI.
For tests, don't ask for "fully tested before submission": we don't expect
contributors to run all the tests locally. Ask for basic local testing, and
remind users to check CI results after submission.

Change the wording of the section of CONTRIBUTING.md on function
deprecation to make it easier to understand.

It just got renamed, and it's also not the most canonical example since it's
a somewhat deprecated interface. Make a different module the example.

The LTS branch hasn't been updated in the contributing guidelines.
Deleting it instead of updating as the information is available at the
link above and deleting prevents similar mistakes in the future.

Make the contributing document link to how to create a changelog rather
than just linking to the Changelog itself.

The link pointed to the website, this information is out of date, the
correct place to start discussions is the mailing list.

The Mbed TLS project no longer requires a CLA. Contributions from now on
must be made under both Apache-2.0 AND GPL-2.0-or-later licenses, to enable
LTS (Long Term Support) branches of the software to continue to be provided
under either Apache-2.0 OR GPL-2.0-or-later. Contributors must accept the
terms of the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) by adding a Signed-off-by:
line to each commit message.
The software on the development branch continues to be provided under
Apache-2.0.
Update README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md and pull_request_template.md to explain
the new licensing model. Add a copy of the DCO to the project.
Expand the full Apache-2.0 license text in the LICENSE file and remove the
redundant apache-2.0.txt.

Added a section on API/ABI compatibility on the development branch to the
CONTRIBUTING.md guidelines. Also added to the testing section, refined the LTS
section and changed some formatting for consistency.
The CONTRIBUTING.md referred to 'legacy' branches instead of LTS branches, and
also referenced mbedtls-1.3 which is no longer maintained, and omitted
mbedtls-2.7 which is.
