Roslyn: Switch to MIT license

I suggest that Roslyn's license should be changed to a MIT license. This would alleviate legal problems for developers and be consistent with the rest of .NET Core.

Did you ask a lawyer before making that change?

The point of Apache license is to make sure there are not issues with potential patents. MIT doesn't have such provision.

Yes this was approved by legal.

@jaredpar thanks for the precision. Would be nice to mention it in similar issues in the future, so that people don't have to ask.
