This allows automated tooling (such as license compatibilty checkers, such as
wwhrd or anything using go-license) to find it.
LICENSE.docs is left as it is. My argument for giving the code the "privileged"
position is that automated tooling is going to primarily be interested in code
(e.g. vendoring) while docs are not typically vendored or subject to automatic
inclusion in quite the same way.

This is similar in spirit to https://github.com/opencontainers/go-digest/pull/38. For completeness there isa PR https://github.com/ryanuber/go-license/issues/16 but it's from 2015.
