#64599: Add SSPL to distributable_lib.tcl to make mongodb (more) distributable

mongodb switched their license from the AGPL to the SSPL, a new non-OSI-
approved license they created which, like the AGPL, is based on GPL-3 but
with additions for to licensing requirements for server side
infrastructure related to a mongodb deployment.
Here is a [https://www.mongodb.com/licensing/server-side-public-
license/faq FAQ about the SSPL]. In particular it says:
> The only changes are additional terms that make explicit the conditions
for offering a publicly available MongoDB as a service.
and:
> The only substantive modification is section 13, which makes clear the
condition to offering MongoDB as a service.
I think the thing to do is to add the SSPL to [browser:macports-
infrastructure/jobs/distributable_lib.tcl distributable_lib.tcl] but I'm
not clear exactly what needs to be changed in `good_licenses` and
`license_conflicts` to accomplish that. I assume that everywhere AGPL is
currently mentioned, a similar mention should be made of SSPL, but I don't
know whether or how the distinction between "AGPL" and "AGPL-1" applies to
SSPL. Or if something else should be done, let me know.
