chore(license): move from SRCL-1.0 to Apache-2.0 with LLVM Exception

[aien-dev]

Summary

• LICENSE moves from SRCL-1.0 to Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception (canonical texts, same header as aien-sovereign-core); COVENANT.md added; CONSTITUTION and AGENT_CODE_OF_CONDUCT synced from core.
• README badge and license line, AGENTS.md, and llms.txt use the same license language.
• src/ledger/db.rs: the genesis payload for new ledgers names the current license; existing ledgers keep their stored genesis block.

Verification Proof

$ grep -rlI "SRCL\|Sovereign Re[a-z]* Commons" .
(no output)
$ cargo test
test result: ok. 93 passed; 0 failed        (lib)
test result: ok. 5 passed; 0 failed
test result: FAILED. 10 passed; 1 failed     (integration_tests)

• The one failure, test_codebase_observation_current_repo, asserts a non-empty git branch for . and fails only because the test ran in a tarball checkout without git metadata. Unrelated to this change; CI runs it in a real checkout.

Certifications

• Zero Plaintext Secrets: no credentials touched.
• Sovereign Voice & Anti-Slop: Zero em dashes or en dashes present.
• License: Apache-2.0 governs. COVENANT.md states values only.
