[Buildroot] [git commit] core/legal-info: don't generate big file with all license texts

[Thomas Petazzoni]

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=81bf01cbffeb73f9db1cc67738030a00749324b7
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

By aggregating all the license files into a single big text-only file
means we have no way to use license files that are binary blobs (e.g.
pdf, rtf...).

Just do not generate that big file; if the user still wants it, it is
very easy to create it afterwards.
