Andrew Cooper be1fdacf54 LICENSES: Remove the use of deprecated SPDX tags
The GPL and LGPL SPDX forms without an explicit -only or -or-later suffix are
deprecated and should not be used.  Update the documention.

Somewhat unhelpfully at the time of writing, this only appears to be indicated
by the separation of the two tables at https://spdx.org/licenses/

The recent changes to libacpi are the only examples of deprecated LGPL tags in
tree, so fix them all up.

For GPL, we have many examples using deprecated tags.  For now, just identify
them as such and recommend that no new instances get added.
