Fix some licenses

[why]
For two fonts the licenses seem to be wrong:

Careful examination of 3270's license terms does not show any text that would make it a BSD-3-Clause-Clear variant, rather it is the standard 3 Clause text.

Overpass is a bit more complicated. The license is only mentioned in the text as alternative to the OFL with the words

This Font Software is dual licensed and available under the SIL Open
Font License, Version 1.1. and also the LGPL 2.1

The LGPL text is only linked to, and the generic form is linked. As they do not write anyhwere 'or later' that means that 'only' is meant.

Fixes: #3 (closed)

Make OFL licenses more specific

[why]
OFL comes in two flavours, with and without Reserved Font Name. That license term survives modifications and renames and thus can be important.

The tag 'OFL' does not specify whether or not an RFN clause is active.

[how]
Add -RFN or -no-RFN to all OFL licensed fonts.
