docs: clarify and include licenses of dependencies

While our contribution guide tries to make clear the licenses that apply
to libgit2, it does not make clear that different licenses apply to our
bundled dependencies. Make this clear by listing each dependency
together with the licenses that they are governed by. Furthermore,
bundle the complete license texts next to the code they apply to.
