Add GitHub bot to check Apache license headers, on pull-requests #258

Closed NimJay closed 9 months ago

We should enable the License Header Lint GCF GitHub bot on this repo.
The bot runs a GitHub check called header-check that warns us about invalid/missing (Apache 2.0, etc.) license headers.

Background

When a new file is added to this repo, we sometimes forget to add the Apache 2.0 license header.
According to Google-internal docs:

It is necessary to apply a Google copyright notice to any source file that is published or shared outside of Google
and ...

All published source files should have some form of license header with at least one copyright notice.
