[stable-2.9] Add or later to the license expressed in the README (#65287)

This is a clarification, not a relicensing.

Our source code says "GPLv3+" or "version 3 of the License, or later".
Our documentation says GPLv3+:

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/docs/docsite/rst/dev_guide/developing_modules_checklist.rst#contributing-to-ansible-objective-requirements

We were just lazy when we wrote the README and left out the "or later".
this update to the README brings it in line with what everything else
says.
(cherry picked from commit a15fb26)
