to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Summary: This allows to remove `using namespace llvm;` in those *.cpp files
When we want to revisit the decision (everything resides in llvm::mca::*) in the future, we can move things to a nested namespace of llvm::mca::, to conceptually make them separate from the rest of llvm::mca::*

This patch introduces the following changes to the DispatchStatistics view:
* DispatchStatistics now reports the number of dispatched opcodes instead of
the number of dispatched instructions.
* The "Dynamic Dispatch Stall Cycles" table now also reports the percentage of
stall cycles against the total simulated cycles.
This change allows users to easily compare dispatch group sizes with the
processor DispatchWidth.
Before this change, it was difficult to correlate the two numbers, since
DispatchStatistics view reported numbers of instructions (instead of opcodes).
DispatchWidth defines the maximum size of a dispatch group in terms of number of
micro opcodes.
The other change introduced by this patch is related to how DispatchStage
generates "instruction dispatch" events.
In particular:
* There can be multiple dispatch events associated with a same instruction
* Each dispatch event now encapsulates the number of dispatched micro opcodes.
The number of micro opcodes declared by an instruction may exceed the processor
DispatchWidth. Therefore, we cannot assume that instructions are always fully
dispatched in a single cycle.
DispatchStage knows already how to handle instructions declaring a number of
opcodes bigger that DispatchWidth. However, DispatchStage always emitted a
single instruction dispatch event (during the first simulated dispatch cycle)
for instructions dispatched.
With this patch, DispatchStage now correctly notifies multiple dispatch events
for instructions that cannot be dispatched in a single cycle.
A few views had to be modified. Views can no longer assume that there can only
be one dispatch event per instruction.
Tests (and docs) have been updated.
