ISC-license x86inc.asm

As the assembly abstraction layer is very useful in non-x264 projects, it is now ISC (simplified BSD) so that others, even in commercial projects, can use it as well.

+; This is a header file for the x264ASM assembly language, which uses
+; NASM/YASM syntax combined with a large number of macros to provide easy
+; abstraction between different calling conventions (x86_32, win64, linux64).
+; It also has various other useful features to simplify writing the kind of
+; DSP functions that are most often used in x264.
+
+; Unlike the rest of x264, this file is available under an ISC license, as it
+; has significant usefulness outside of x264 and we want it to be available
+; to the largest audience possible.  Of course, if you modify it for your own
+; purposes to add a new feature, we strongly encourage contributing a patch
+; as this feature might be useful for others as well.  Send patches or ideas
+; to x264-devel@videolan.org .
