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><filename>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</filename> is a
service responsible for setting up encrypted block devices. It is
instantiated for each device that requires decryption for
access.</para>
<para><filename>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</filename> will ask
for hard disk passwords via the <ulink
url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PasswordAgents">
password agent logic</ulink>, in order to query the user for the
password using the right mechanism at boot and during
runtime.</para>
<para>At early boot and when the system manager configuration is reloaded, <filename>/etc/crypttab</filename> is
translated into <filename>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</filename> units by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-cryptsetup-generator</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
