qca-swiss-army-knife: add tools directory for initvals

We are going to rename this git tree to qca-swiss-army-knife.git
and add more tools, as such lets throw the initvals work into
its own directory and allow for other tools to be thrown in here.
Lets add our own top level copyright license, and a simple README.
