Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 11a1589223 tree-wide: drop license boilerplate
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.

I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.

<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_journal_get_catalog()</function> retrieves a
message catalog entry for the current journal entry. This will
look up an entry in the message catalog by using the
<literal>MESSAGE_ID=</literal> field of the current journal entry.
Before returning the entry all journal field names in the catalog
entry text enclosed in "@" will be replaced by the respective
field values of the current entry. If a field name referenced in
the message catalog entry does not exist, in the current journal
entry, the "@" will be removed, but the field name otherwise left
untouched.</para>
<para><function>sd_journal_get_catalog_for_message_id()</function>
works similar to <function>sd_journal_get_catalog()</function> but
the entry is looked up by the specified message ID (no open
journal context is necessary for this), and no field substitution
is performed.</para>
<para>For more information about the journal message catalog
please refer to the <ulink
url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/catalog">Journal
Message Catalogs</ulink> documentation page.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para><function>sd_journal_get_catalog()</function> and
<function>sd_journal_get_catalog_for_message_id()</function>
return 0 on success or a negative errno-style error code. If no
matching message catalog entry is found, -ENOENT is
returned.</para>
<para>On successful return, <parameter>ret</parameter> points to a
new string, which must be freed with
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

<title>Notes</title>
<para>Function <function>sd_journal_get_catalog()</function> is thread-agnostic and only a
single thread may operate on a given <structname>sd_journal</structname> object. Function
<function>sd_journal_get_catalog_for_message_id()</function> is thread-safe.</para>
<para>The <function>sd_journal_get_catalog()</function> and
<function>sd_journal_get_catalog_for_message_id()</function>
interfaces are available as a shared library, which can be
compiled and linked to with the
