[DeveloperPolicy] Specify LLVM's license more clearly. 

Before, the first mention of LLVM's license on the developer policy page stated
that LLVM's license is Apache 2. This patch makes that more accurate by
mentioning the LLVM exception this first time the LLVM license is discussed on
that page, i.e. Apache-2.0 with LLVM-exception.

Technically, the correct SPDX identifier for LLVM's license is 'Apache-2.0 WITH
LLVM-exception', but I thought that writing the 'WITH' in lower case made the
paragraph easier to read without reducing clarity.
