Add the history text file to the upstream repository

Migrate the version history file to the upstream repository so that the changes are included in the code repository. The proposal is to edit this file for releases and then train the auto-generated documentation jobs to copy it to the `ome-documentation` repository.

Additionally the history file is now bundled with the distributed server next to licenses.txt.

Does the name makes sense or should we change to CHANGES or other?
