Bug#649530: [copyright-format] clearer definitions and more consistent License: stanza specification

[Ximin Luo <infinity0@gmx.com>]

https://github.com/infinity0/debian-policy/compare/bug649350-infinity0

I've split up my previous patch into more manageable chunks, and added
extra explanations in the commit messages.

I'm trying to follow the principle that the commit messages should
already contain enough justification for the changes, but if any of them
are unclear, please do ask me for further detail.

(Further potential additions, which I've omitted for simplicity, include
License-Exception: fields, and Location: fields to formalise the concept
of a "pointer" to a License.)
