fix license

CismonX requested to merge cismonx/readline:main into main

The correct license identifier for GNU Readline should be GPL-3.0-or-later instead of GPL-3.0-only.

See the license notice in its source code (e.g. readline.c) for details. Also the Free Software Directory.

The "or later" term is not mentioned in the README and the Texinfo manual. That's indeed a problem.

I will contact the GNU Readline maintainers to address this separate issue.
