a6ccf6659a Meta: Reimplement license checker in python
On my machine, this script took about 3.4 seconds, and was responsible
for essentially all of the time taken by the precommit hook.

The script is a faithful 1:1 reimplementation, even the regexes are
identical. And yet, it takes about 0.02 seconds, making the pre-commit
hook lightning fast again. Apparently python is just faster in this
case.

Fun fact:
- Just reading all ~4000 files took bash about 1.2 seconds
- Checking the license took another 1.8 seconds in total
- Checking for math.h took another 0.4 seconds in total
- Checking for '#pragma once' took another 0.4 seconds in total

The timing is highly load-dependent, so they don't exactly add up to 3.4
seconds. However, it's good enough to determine that bash is no longer
fit for the purpose of this script.
