Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license

questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.  And
add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people recognize
that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply to the OpenSSL
toolkit.

+  The OpenSSL toolkit stays under a dual license, i.e. both the conditions of
+  the OpenSSL License and the original SSLeay license apply to the toolkit.
+  See below for the actual license texts. Actually both licenses are BSD-style
+  Open Source licenses. In case of any license issues related to OpenSSL
+  please contact openssl-core@openssl.org.
