 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
