Transfers the majority of submodules and large externals to CPM, using source archives rather than full Git clones. Not only does this save massive amounts of clone and configure time, but dependencies are grabbed on-demand rather than being required by default. Additionally, CPM will (generally) automatically search for system dependencies, though certain dependencies have options to control this.
Testing shows gains ranging from 5x to 10x in terms of overall clone/configure time.

[REUSE] is a specification that aims at making file copyright
information consistent, so that it can be both human and machine
readable. It basically requires that all files have a header containing
copyright and licensing information. When this isn't possible, like
when dealing with binary assets, generated files or embedded third-party
dependencies, it is permitted to insert copyright information in the
`.reuse/dep5` file.
Oh, and it also requires that all the licenses used in the project are
present in the `LICENSES` folder, that's why the diff is so huge.
This can be done automatically with `reuse download --all`.
The `reuse` tool also contains a handy subcommand that analyzes the
project and tells whether or not the project is (still) compliant,
`reuse lint`.
Following REUSE has a few advantages over the current approach:
- Copyright information is easy to access for users / downstream
- Files like `dist/license.md` do not need to exist anymore, as
`.reuse/dep5` is used instead
- `reuse lint` makes it easy to ensure that copyright information of
files like binary assets / images is always accurate and up to date
To add copyright information of files that didn't have it I looked up
who committed what and when, for each file. As yuzu contributors do not
have to sign a CLA or similar I couldn't assume that copyright ownership
was of the "yuzu Emulator Project", so I used the name and/or email of
the commit author instead.

We can place the external in an inner folder and manage the custom files
necessary to integrate it with CMake directly. This allows us to
directly change how we use it with our build system, as opposed to
needing to change a fork.
