Move visualidiot license to its own type (aboutcode-org#1999)

Per discussion in aboutcode-org#1999, the now-defunct visualidiot.com license should receive scrutiny by those who might be using code containing such a license. It is currently mis-categorized as other-permissive, inviting users to overlook the license. This commit moves the license to it's own license type, visual-idiot.
