Doc: Improve WinTab license information 

Do not categorize the license anymore as 'Public Domain', because the
actual text is not explicit on whether it allows modifications. Instead
show the original license text.

Also remove the Homepage link, which now just displays (arguably
outdated) information about patents.

Finally, do not misuse the "Version" field for metadata information,
use the newly introduced "PackageComment" field instead.

[ChangeLog][Third-Party Code] Changed classification of the wintab
license from Public Domain to Custom.

Fixes: QTBUG-74453
Change-Id: Ibae36be1deee3b9c498c45d03ed741c3d5ff630c
