add asset licensing notices

Adds ASSETS.md, NOTICE.md, per-directory READMEs, third-party license
texts, a CI check that notices don't rot, and README forking-guideline
updates. Carves commissioned artwork, the licensed icon system, and
Bluesky marks out of the blanket MIT license. See LEGMS-208.

The app icons in this directory are trademarks of Bluesky Social
PBC — the butterfly mark and its variants, as shipped to the iOS App Store and Google Play.
**These are not covered by the [MIT license](../../LICENSE) that applies to the rest of this
repository.** Use of Bluesky's marks is governed by our Trademark Policy and Brand Guidelines,
not by the license on our source code.
You may say that your app is a client for Bluesky, or that it is based on the Bluesky app. You
may not use our marks as the identity of your own product, or in any way likely to suggest that
Bluesky publishes, endorses, or supports it.
If you are forking this repository, replace these files with your own icons. Shipping an app that
looks like Bluesky is also a problem under the app stores' own rules on copycat apps, quite apart
from trademark.
See [`ASSETS.md`](../../ASSETS.md) for the full asset licensing picture.
