Use the standard MIT licence text

[microprediction]

The LICENSE file was a joke variant of MIT ("begrudging permission", and a beer owed for an M6 prize). GitHub and licence scanners therefore classify the project as "Other", while pyproject.toml declares MIT. This replaces it with the verbatim MIT text, keeping the 2021 copyright line, so the file matches the metadata.
