Add a check for "Google Inc." copyright
For third-party projects where we are pushing code upstream we
should assign copyright to "Google Inc." rather than "The Chromium
OS" authors.
See the Chromium OS Kernel Faq and "How To Open Source Google
Code" on the OSPO site for details.
BUG=none
TEST=Tested in a follow-up CL with good/bad copyrights for a
GPLv2 project
