#61237: Use SPDX license identifiers

MacPorts has its own guidelines for how to specify port license names. We
should probably move toward using the same license identifiers popularized
by SPDX: https://spdx.org/licenses/
The license names we use have to be understood by our
port_binary_distributable.tcl script. There may need to be a transitional
period during which the script is updated to recognize both our old
license names and new SPDX license identifiers. Later, once all ports have
been updated to use SPDX, we can remove our old license names.
