license: use verbatim text from the whitepaper

Replace the boilerplate AGPL-3.0 header in LICENSE with the exact
license clause from the Merkle Providence Reverse RAG whitepaper
(April 2026, Russell Ballestrini / David Wong / Riley Morgan):

  License: AGPL-3.0-only · This algorithm, its implementation, &
  all associated code carry the GNU Affero General Public License
  v3.0 (only). You may use, modify, & distribute under those terms.
  No proprietary relicensing exists.

README's License section quotes the same clause and links the
whitepaper as the canonical source.
