build: switch preliminary LGPL mode from v3 to v2.1
iive agreed to relicense things that are still in mpv to LGPLv2.1. So change the licenses of the affected files, and rename the configure switch for LGPL mode to --enable-preliminary-lgpl2. (The "preliminary" part will probably be removed from the configure switch soon as well.) Also player/main.c hasn't had GPL parts since a few commits ago.
