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_event_get_fd()</function> returns the file
descriptor that an event loop object returned by the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_new</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
function uses to wait for events. This file descriptor may itself
be polled for
<constant>POLLIN</constant>/<constant>EPOLLIN</constant>
events. This makes it possible to embed an
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-event</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
event loop into another, possibly foreign, event loop.</para>
<para>The returned file descriptor refers to an <citerefentry
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>epoll</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
object. It is recommended not to alter it by invoking
<citerefentry
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>epoll_ctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
on it, in order to avoid interference with the event loop's inner
logic and assumptions.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, <function>sd_event_get_fd()</function> returns a
non-negative file descriptor. On failure, it returns a negative
errno-style error code.</para>

<title>Errors</title>
<para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>
