ChangeLog: Add license clarifications
Those were missed in the changelog since I fixed the license ambiguity
after completing the changelog (even though I merged the other branch
first).
Clarified license details:
- Fix wrong LGPL version in the LICENSE file
- Main libftdi library is LGPL v2.1 only (was incorrectly documented as
LGPL v2+)
- ftdi_eeprom is GPL v2 only
- SPDX license tags added in 2019 were already correct
- Update COPYING.LIB to LGPL v2.1
