`hal_task_create` returned a reference to the new task allocated on the
heap via `malloc`. We commonly used the pattern to `free` this reference
from the new thread which, however, could result in race conditions and
other synchronization issues. We added a fix using a semaphore in the
application agent, but this would have been needed in other places (CLA,
...) as well. As we do not make use of the task reference anywhere
besides in the CLA for error handling, we can remove the heap-allocated
value altogether and replace it with an `enum ud3tn_result` to simplify
things and circumvent the named synchronization issues.
In the case of the CLA function `cla_link_init`, logic is introduced to
request the RX task to exit immediately in case the TX task cannot be
launched.

ud3tn is available under multiple licenses and we want to reflect this in
our source code. But which license information should appear first and how
can we manage this efficiently in the future? The Linux Kernel uses SPDX
expressions instead of boilerplate sections. This seems to be a great
approach, so we do the same here.
