[Mono-list] relicensing from NPL to MIT/X11

What we did was not changing the license but offering at MPL and MITX11, 
that's stated in file mcs/LICENSE:

"The Microsoft.JScript assembly is covered by the
MIT X11 and the Mozilla MPL license as it contains
ported pieces of code from Rhino, the Mozilla JavaScript
implementations"

And we also include mcs/LICENSE.MPL.

So the original authors are kept, and the .cs files are listed as 'port 
of the Rhino file'.

Hello Miguel. I just added the original NPL license header to the files 
that are ported code from Rhino, to avoid more confusion.
