[rfa] License clarification for observer.texi

[Daniel Jacobowitz <drow at false dot org>]

One of two issues that I'd like to resolve before GDB 6.5.

This patch adds explicit copyright and license notices to observer.texi,
to resolve a problem noted by debian-legal.

The file is included directly into the manual, so must be covered by the
GFDL.  But the header file generated from it by observer.sh (gdb/observer.h
in the build tree) has a GPL notice added.  The GFDL and GPL are not
compatible to this degree.  Even the FSF agrees about this - the
FDL suggests releasing code fragments under the GPL in parallel to including
them in the manual.

So, this patch marks observer.texi as distributable under both licenses.

Does anyone disapprove of this change?  Or, feel sufficiently concerned by
it that you would prefer I contact the FSF to confirm?  I don't feel that it
is necessary, since I am dealing strictly with the FSF's preferred licenses
for code and for manuals, and strictly for manual already used as code.
