Add dual licensing (AGPL + commercial) (#2021)

* Add dual licensing (AGPL + commercial)

Add commercial license option for organizations that cannot comply with
AGPL. Contact founders@manaflow.com for details. Updates LICENSE preamble,
all README translations, and CONTRIBUTING.md.

* Fix AGPL identifier and strengthen contributor license grant

- Use AGPL-3.0-or-later (not AGPL-3.0) in all READMEs to match LICENSE
- Replace weak "retains the right" clause in CONTRIBUTING.md with explicit
  contributor license grant for commercial sublicensing
