Fix license name and url in pom.xml (LGPL-2.1-only)
The license entry in pom.xml has `<name>LGPL</name>`. This is ambiguous because there are several LGPL versions. The README.md says "version 2.1 of the LGPL" so this should be changed to LGPL-2.1-only, the identifier suggested by https://spdx.org/licenses/ Only the entry in pom.xml is machine-readable, the README isn't, to help tools reading from pom.xml the change should be made. The license entry in pom.xml contains `<url>http://www.indexdata.com/licences/lgpl</url>`. That URL redirects to https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-3.0.en.html To match the README it is changed to `<url>https://spdx.org/licenses/LGPL-2.1-only.html</url>`. Note: There also exists LGPL-2.1-or-later, the default suggested on https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.1-standalone.html Regarding my contributions to cql-java: I agree if cql-java is changed to LGPL-2.1-or-later.
