nmap: correct licence to Restrictive/Distributable
Nmap is licensed under unique terms, derived from the GPL but
explicitly inconsistent with it. The licence doesn't seem to restrict
MacPorts redistributing neither source nor archives, but it is
definitely incompatible with other GPL-licensed software. So,
Restrictive/Distributable seems the apt choice.
As the OpenSSLException clarification is irrelevant to this licence, I
removed it.
While at it, I adjusted the modeline to prevent `port lint nmap` from
complaining about tabs.
See: https://github.com/nmap/nmap/issues/2199
Closes: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/63941
