Feat: Add support for AGPL and BSD licensed builds
b479862

This introduces file separations for the two license types

Perhaps it would be better to provide a bsd tag to allow users to retrieve only code that complies with the BSD license? This would minimize disruption to downstream projects; if they are already using the gore library, they have already agreed to the AGPL terms and would not need to make any adjustments for this change.

I'll invert the implementation.

Refactor: Update go build tags and license handling
ed82f51 
Switches testing and licensing logic to properly support BSD and AGPL
build tags across multiple files.

This includes:
- Updating the workflow to test against BSD tags.
- Creating `LICENSE.bsd` for BSD licensing.
- Updating various files (`dwarf.go`, `goroot.go`, etc.) to use
  appropriate build tags, allowing them to be selected based on the
  target Go dialect (AGPL or BSD).
- Updating the `README.md`.
@TcM1911
