tools: patman: fix `pip install` with Python 3.12

Installing patman with `cd ./tools/patman && pip install -e .` fails
with the error below.

As described in the error output below, the license line is not allowed
to be only defined in the setup.py. We remove the 'license' field
entirely, as the Python Packaging User Guide recommends using projects
classifiers instead[1] and we already set the GPL-2.0+ classifier.
