            Fix 'License' tag to use a valid SPDX expression

The previous license tag 'LicenseRef-Callaway-LGPLv2+' was an
auto-converted placeholder from Fedora's mass SPDX migration and
flagged for manual review.

License files examined in the source tarball ('Hermes-1.3.3.tar.bz2'):
- 'COPYING': contains the full text of the "GNU LIBRARY GENERAL
  PUBLIC LICENSE, Version 2, June 1991" (LGPL-2.0). The header
  reads "Version 2, June 1991", confirming this is LGPL version 2.0,
  NOT version 2.1 (which would read "Version 2.1, February 1999").

Source file license notices (e.g. 'src/H_Blit.h', 'src/Clear.c',
'src/H_Conv.h', 'src/H_Clear.h', and others) all state:
  "This source code is licensed under the GNU LGPL"
  "Please refer to the file COPYING contained in the distribution
   for licensing conditions"
No source file contains "or later", "any later version", or
"at your option" language. No source file specifies a version
number. Without an explicit "or later" grant from the copyright
holders, the license is version 2 only.

The 'README' and 'FAQ' both confirm the license as "GNU Library
General Public License (LGPL)" and refer to 'COPYING.LIB' / 'COPYING'.
Neither contains "or later" language.

Mapping: LGPL version 2.0, no "or later" grant anywhere in source
-> SPDX identifier 'LGPL-2.0-only'.

Also removed the "Automatically converted" comment and bumped the
release to 53.
