d/patches: drop install-time rpath from generated ldc2.conf
LDC 1.42 refactored ldc2.conf generation into a conf directory and
started writing `rpath = "/usr/lib"` into the install section of the
generated 50-target-default.conf. That value ends up as DT_RUNPATH in
every binary linked against the shared D runtime, tripping lintian's
custom-library-search-path (E) on all D packages built with this
compiler (gir-to-d, glib-d, gtk-d, tilix, ...).
The rpath is both redundant and stale for the Debian layout: the shared
runtime libraries are relocated by the .install files into the multiarch
directory (/usr/lib/<triplet>), already part of ld.so's default search
path, so no DT_RUNPATH is needed. Pointing it at the multiarch dir would
not help either, as any public library directory is still flagged by
lintian; only a package-private subdir would be exempt.
The new Debian-specific patch drops the RPATH argument from the INSTALL
section of makeConfSection so the line is omitted entirely (passing an
empty value would instead emit `rpath = "";`). The build-time rpath is
left untouched (needed for the in-tree build/test runners). Marked
Forwarded: not-needed.
Verified with an sbuild rebuild: 50-target-default.conf no longer
carries an rpath, and a D program compiled against the shared runtime
has no DT_RUNPATH (readelf -d) while phobos/druntime still resolve via
the multiarch dir.

d/copyright: add missing copyright holders, licenses and SPDX references
Address the findings from the NEW/DFSG review of 1:1.42.0-1 (accepted
with findings): the author check flagged a number of copyright holders
present in the source that were not enumerated in debian/copyright. Add
a dedicated Files stanza for each.
Group with a distinct license (new License stanzas added):
- runtime/druntime/src/etc/valgrind/{valgrind,memcheck}.h: Julian
Seward; these headers carry the bzip2 license (same author), matching
SPDX bzip2-1.0.6 verbatim.
- runtime/phobos/etc/c/curl.d: Daniel Stenberg et al, curl license
(SPDX curl).
- runtime/phobos/std/random.d: Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji Nishimura
(Mersenne Twister, a BSD-3-Clause variant) and Rick Booth.
- runtime/phobos/std/datetime/timezone.d: embedded Unicode CLDR sample,
Unicode-DFS-2016.
- runtime/phobos/std/regex/internal/tests.d: test vectors from Henry
Spencer's regexp (University of Toronto), Spencer-86.
Group already covered by BSL-1.0, only the holder was missing:
- runtime/druntime solaris/*: Jason King.
- runtime/phobos math (CEPHES): Stephen L. Moshier.
- runtime/phobos/std/net/isemail.d: Daniel Marschall (test schema doc).
DMD test files with no explicit grant (documented as part of the
Boost-licensed DMD test suite):
- tests/dmd/runnable/exe1.c: Symantec / Walter Bright.
- tests/dmd/runnable/exe3.c, exe4.c: Walter Bright.
- tests/dmd/runnable/imports/inline2a.d: Kris Bell (Zlib license).
Also add a "SPDX <id>: <url>" reference line to every License stanza
(verified against the SPDX list and ScanCode LicenseDB; exact-text
matches only). bzip2-1.0.6, curl, Spencer-86 and Unicode-DFS-2016 map to
exact identifiers; the Mersenne Twister variant and the Project
Gutenberg public-domain notice have no exact SPDX/ScanCode id and are
left without one.
