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.

Unsure whether this should get some Fixes: tags or not.  Note also that
Jenny's "[PATCH v4 2/2] acpi: Add TPM2 interface definition." wants its SPDX
tag correcting as per this patch.

v2:
 * Extend commit message to include https://spdx.org/licenses/
 * Update the URLs too
