Clarify licensing situation of MPSC and SPSC queue

Originally, these two files were licensed under the `BSD-2-Clause` license, as they were based off sample code on a blog licensing those snippets under that license:

* `library/std/src/sync/mpsc/mpsc_queue.rs`
* `library/std/src/sync/mpsc/spsc_queue.rs`

In 2017 though, the author of that blog agreed to relicense their code under the standard `MIT OR Apache-2.0` license in rust-lang#42149. This PR clarifies the situation in the files by expanding the comment at the top of the file.
