Actually I don't mind options 1, 2 or 3 (all of these options fulfil the legal obligations of the license, right?) -- 4 seems like unnecessary effort for no real gain.
Don't forget the "nodocs" use case, which the separate license tag helps cover. That means 2 or 3 is preferable to 1. My suggestion would be to go with 3 and then to ask upstream to separate it out. Ideally, if they're using a standard license, we can in the future deduplicate identical license files, too, but only if they're just the license alone in a file.
