Fix up pulp-ansible role metadata, including license string
Description
At a glance, there are the following problems with the metadata files (each role's meta/main.yml):
- They are inconsistent with eachother in terms of some fields like the name of the author, the minimum required version of ansible (they should all specify the same version), and the supported platforms (should all be the same, and represent what we test against.)
- Some refer to the license as GPLv2, others as GPLv3.
- They want us to use this list of license strings: https://spdx.org/licenses/
ansible-pulp's LICENSE would correspond to the string: GPL-2.0-or-later
This may or may not cause issues with galaxy parsing our roles when put them in a collectoin on galaxy, but it's better to correct the metadata now.

Here is another ticket capturing our fixing of license in other parts of the project: https://pulp.plan.io/issues/4592 which has links to the faq and licensing discussion. If you are seeing v3 we may need to check if that is intentional or a place we may have missed.

These are all the license metadatas:
./pulp-content/meta/main.yml: license: GPL-3.0
./pulp-database/meta/main.yml: license: GPLv2
./pulp-devel/meta/main.yml: license: GPLv2
./pulp-redis/meta/main.yml: license: GPL-3.0
./pulp-resource-manager/meta/main.yml: license: GPL-3.0
./pulp-webserver/meta/main.yml: license: GPL-3.0
./pulp-workers/meta/main.yml: license: GPL-3.0
./pulp/meta/main.yml: license: GPLv2
"pulp" was the very 1st role, and has always been "GPLv2".
After running "git blame" some, my theory is that at one point someone accidentally created a new role specified as GPL-3.0, and it was copied into other new roles.
And the GPLv2 was never converted to GPLv2+ ("GPL-2.0-or-later").

Revision a45411b8 | View on GitHub
Problem: role metadata is incorrect or has omissions
Solution: Update it, including the license strings: GPL-2.0 for some roles, GPL-3.0 for others -> GPL-2.0-or-later
Also remove a duplicate of copy of LICENSE (GPLv2) from the "pulp" role, which is without a COPYRIGHT file (which says GPLv2+ actually) or a COMMITMENT file.
Not addressed:
- The dependencies so that each service could run on different hosts. (Addressing them increases dynamic include runtime, and acheiving that entire end includes more work/testing.)
