[REUSE] is a specification that aims at making file copyright
information consistent, so that it can be both human and machine
readable. It basically requires that all files have a header containing
copyright and licensing information. When this isn't possible, like
when dealing with binary assets, generated files or embedded third-party
dependencies, it is permitted to insert copyright information in the
`.reuse/dep5` file.
Oh, and it also requires that all the licenses used in the project are
present in the `LICENSES` folder, that's why the diff is so huge.
This can be done automatically with `reuse download --all`.
The `reuse` tool also contains a handy subcommand that analyzes the
project and tells whether or not the project is (still) compliant,
`reuse lint`.
Following REUSE has a few advantages over the current approach:
- Copyright information is easy to access for users / downstream
- Files like `dist/license.md` do not need to exist anymore, as
`.reuse/dep5` is used instead
- `reuse lint` makes it easy to ensure that copyright information of
files like binary assets / images is always accurate and up to date
To add copyright information of files that didn't have it I looked up
who committed what and when, for each file. As yuzu contributors do not
have to sign a CLA or similar I couldn't assume that copyright ownership
was of the "yuzu Emulator Project", so I used the name and/or email of
the commit author instead.

The AppStream file is mostly copied from the one already used by the
Flatpak yuzu build:
https://github.com/flathub/org.yuzu_emu.yuzu/blob/62fc225acfa0178ddf61be68ad9be60841077263/org.yuzu_emu.yuzu.metainfo.xml
As it already defines the application id as org.yuzu_emu.yuzu I renamed
the yuzu.desktop and yuzu.xml files so that they match.
I've also made some minor tweaks to it, like fixing the capitalization
of "yuzu", adding a few keys and sorting them as presented in the
documentation.
Lastly, I added PrefersNonDefaultGPU=true to the .desktop file so that
yuzu is launched with the dedicated graphics card on Linux.
Explicitly specifying an install destination is not needed anymore since
CMake 3.14.
By removing the hardcoded ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/bin it is also now
possible to override the install destination via the command line. For
example, you can now install yuzu to /usr/games with
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_BINDIR=games
