[ovs-dev] debian: update copyright for xenserver/

Further to the recent work done by Ben Pfaff and Ian Campbell to
clarify the license of all the files in xenserver/ the debian/copyright.in
file seems to need updating.

Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <horms at verge.net.au>

--- 

My current plan is to include Ben Phaff's recent copyright changes
to xenserver/ and this change and re-upload 1.1.0-pre2 to debian.org.
It would be good to do this quickly, before the ftpmaster's get
to the original upload where there is some confusion about
the licensing of files in xenserver/
