[OpenBIOS] [PATCH] add copyright message to root node at startup

Mac OS 9 and earlier require that OpenBIOS has Apple's copyright message in the root node, under the copyright property. This patch adds that message. This patch also removes the code from the adler32 word that did the same thing. Operating systems might need to read the copyright message before the adler32 word is called. So this patch takes care of that problem by supplying the copyright message at startup. This makes the copyright adding code in the adler32 word obsolete. Only the Macintosh emulator will have this message added to the root node. Other machines such as PREP don't run Apple's software so the copyright message will not be added to them.
