Add License Trove Classifier to Published Package

[johnthagen]

Summary

Add the MIT license trove classifier to the package. This allows tools such as pip-licenses to reliably parse the license for the package into a license report. Currently pip-licenses reports UNKNOWN when including attrs 24.3.0 in a license report it generates.

PyPI will also display this license classifier. For example, below is a snippet from FastAPI's PyPI showing it's license:

Pull Request Check List

• Do not open pull requests from your main branch – use a separate branch!
  • There's a ton of footguns waiting if you don't heed this warning. You can still go back to your project, create a branch from your main branch, push it, and open the pull request from the new branch.
  • This is not a pre-requisite for your pull request to be accepted, but you have been warned.
• Added tests for changed code.
  Our CI fails if coverage is not 100%.
• New features have been added to our Hypothesis testing strategy.
• Changes or additions to public APIs are reflected in our type stubs (files ending in .pyi).
  • ...and used in the stub test file tests/typing_example.py.
  • If they've been added to attr/__init__.pyi, they've also been re-imported in attrs/__init__.pyi.
• Updated documentation for changed code.
  • New functions/classes have to be added to docs/api.rst by hand.
  • Changes to the signatures of @attr.s() and @attrs.define() have to be added by hand too.
  • Changed/added classes/methods/functions have appropriate versionadded, versionchanged, or deprecated directives.
    The next version is the second number in the current release + 1.
    The first number represents the current year.
    So if the current version on PyPI is 22.2.0, the next version is gonna be 22.3.0.
    If the next version is the first in the new year, it'll be 23.1.0.
    • If something changed that affects both attrs.define() and attr.s(), you have to add version directives to both.
• Documentation in .rst and .md files is written using semantic newlines.
• Changes (and possible deprecations) have news fragments in changelog.d.
• Consider granting push permissions to the PR branch, so maintainers can fix minor issues themselves without pestering you.
