hadrian: Install LICENSE files in bindists

Ben Gamari requested to merge wip/T23548 into master

Closes #23548 (closed).

Awkwardly, this results in a $datadir/doc installation directory which contains two similarly-named subdirectories (one having a target double, the other not):

$ hu -j9 binary-dist-dir
$ (cd _build/bindist/ghc-9.8.0.20230914-x86_64-unknown-linux/; ./configure --prefix=`pwd`/root; make install)
$ ls _build/bindist/ghc-9.8.0.20230914-x86_64-unknown-linux/root/share/doc/
ghc-9.8.0.20230914  x86_64-linux-ghc-9.8.0.20230914
$ tree _build/bindist/ghc-9.8.0.20230914-x86_64-unknown-linux/root/share/ -L 4
_build/bindist/ghc-9.8.0.20230914-x86_64-unknown-linux/root/share/
