Thomas Huth	89373f5695	LICENSES: Add modern form of the LGPL-2.1 tags to the usage guide section ... The modern forms of the LGPL-2.1 tags have already been added as valid a long time ago, see commit bc12834958 ("LICENSES/LGPL-2.1: Add LGPL-2.1-or-later as valid identifiers"). However, the information is still missing in the "Usage-Guide" section, so it can currently be confusing whether these tags are allowed in new files or not. Thus add the tags to the usage guide section, too, to make this clear (similar to what we do in the GPL-2.0 file already).

Mauro Carvalho Chehab	bc12834958	LICENSES/LGPL-2.1: Add LGPL-2.1-or-later as valid identifiers ... Some files have been flagged with the new LGPL-2.1-or-later identifier which replace the original LGPL-2.1+ in the SPDX license identifier specification, but the identifiers are not mentioned as valid in the LGPL-2.1 license file. Add it, together with the LGPL-2.1-only at the the license file.
