JSON dumps contain non-CC0 data but claim they're fully CC0

      Our JSON dumps contain both CC0 and supplementary CC BY-NC-SA data (annotations, tags and genres, ratings, at least). But both the docs and the dumps themselves claim the whole thing is CC0, which is not true.

      We should:

      • Update the documentation (https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Development/JSON_Data_Dumps) to specify which parts are CC0 and which are CC BY-NC-SA
      • Also add the COPYING-CCShareAlike file to the dump alongside COPYING-PublicDomain
      • Add info to the README inside the dump to specify which parts are CC0 and which are CC BY-NC-SA
