This series of commits aims to update go-ipfs to follow a dual-licensing best practice based on research into open-source licensing by @ianjdarrow. He recommends a dual MIT and Apache 2.0 license -
> This has two major benefits:
> - There are concerns in the open source community about whether the MIT license leaves users vulnerable to patent infringement claims. We think the pure legal risk is small, but the way the open source community interacts with our project is really important. It makes sense to pick the license that makes the largest number of people comfortable.
- There's now no reason to adopt a separate DCO, since the Apache-2 license grant addresses the same issue.
> Why use a dual license, instead of just Apache-2? The Apache-2 license is incompatible with the GPLv2 license, which includes things like the Linux kernel. With a dual license, GPLv2 projects can just use the MIT license instead. Our goal is to make our software available to as many projects as possible, so we'd rather adopt a licensing scheme that doesn't exclude anyone.
In addition to these commits, we also need to get an explicit OK from current and past contributors to give their consent to relicensing - which will happen in an issue thread.
In TestExternalUnmount, the Mount function is called which returns an
error which can be nil. The error type is then used in a comparison
where Error() is called on it. If the error is nil, this results in a
panic.
Added a if err != nil {} guard to make sure that Error() is not called
if the value is nil

This commit fixes the errors resulting from passing a nil pointer to the
core.NewNode function in TestExternalUnmmount and setupIpnsTest.
In the previous nil's place a &core.BuildCfg{} is now passed.
Both changes follow the same pattern:
```diff
- node, err = core.NewNode(context.Background(), nil)
+ node, err = core.NewNode(context.Background(), &core.BuildCfg{})
```

The usage of a native 'go' command has been replaced with a make &
environment variable $GOCC. This enables building with multiple go
versions on a single machine as documented:
* https://golang.org/doc/install#extra_versions
This enables the usage of:
```bash
$ make install
$ # OR
$ GOCC=go1.12.3 make install
$ # OR
$ GOCC=go1.12.4 make install
```
And the build and test tools now pick up on this change

We were canceling the context in `GarbageCollect` but some functions call `GC`
directly. Move the context cancelation down to where we actually _need_ it.

tweak the daemon --help output to use escaped double quotes instead
of single quotes so the same command can be used on windows.

Unfortunately, I can't reproduce the bug locally and I'm not sure if my fix is
correct. But it shouldn't hurt.

Really, we need a global _resource_ manager service that can sum requests from
the datastore, libp2p, etc. for more file descriptors. However, we don't have
that.
