proc.5: Clean up after making sashimi of this page

-  Remove outdated comments (they're on git, so it's not worth moving
   them to the appropriate pages).

-  Relicense with GPL-3.0-or-later, and add myself to copyleft.

-  Remove now-empty "Files and directories" subsection.

-  Remove now-irrelevant note about the page being a monster, which it
   is not anymore.
