So far the only flag to enforce asking in interactive mode was the
alwaysask attribute, which is not sufficient any more. This patch adds
the ability to control for which actions the atrribute shall be asked
for.
This patch contains 2 parts.
The first part is a small utility to create and validate the current
API. To do this it needs to load ipalib which on a fresh system
introduces a few problems, namely that it relies on a python plugin
to set the default encoding to utf8. For our purposes we can skip that.
It is also important that any optional plugins be loadable so the
API can be examined.
The second part is a version exchange between the client and server.
The version has a major and a minor version. The major verion is
updated whenever existing API changes. The minor version is updated when
new API is added. A request will be rejected if either the major versions
don't match or if the client major version is higher than then server
major version (though by implication new API would return a command not
found if allowed to proceed).
To determine the API version of the server from a client use the ping
command.

Flag parameters are always autofill by definition, causing unexpected
search results. This patch retypes them to Bool for search commands,
so that users have to/can enter the desired value manually.

The changes include:
* Change license blobs in source files to mention GPLv3+ not GPLv2 only
* Add GPLv3+ license text
* Package COPYING not LICENSE as the license blobs (even the old ones)
mention COPYING specifically, it is also more common, I think

Often plugins need to build LDAP entries from params. This should make things a bit easier.
Crud methods (Create, Retrieve, Update, Delete, Search) have attribute=True by default.
And it also works for multivalue params.
