1. Revert "llvmPackages_15: update licenses" …

   This reverts commit 386aba3.
   
   As I understand it from reading
   <https://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#copyright-license-and-patents>,
   the structure of LLVM licensing is as follows:
   
    - They're in the process of relicensing to Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception,
      but they haven't got permission to relicense all the code yet.
      This means that some of the code can be used under the new license,
      but not all of it, and it's difficult to know which is which.  This
      license is therefore probably not useful yet, until the relicensing
      effort is commit.
   
    - While the relicensing effort is ongoing, code being contributed to
      LLVM has to have permission to be used under the old and new
      licensing schemes.  Since the new licensing scheme can't be used
      for all code yet, it only makes sense to use LLVM's code under the
      old licensing scheme at the moment.
   
    - The old licensing scheme is that code for the LLVM components we
      care about is all available under the NCSA license, and some
      components are optionally available under a different license,
      usually the MIT license, instead.
   
   So I think we should go back to just listing NCSA, or NCSA/MIT, and
   forget about the new license until it actually becomes useful,
   i.e. LLVM's relicensing effort is complete.
