ReadMe.rst: Add Apache License 2.0 and update submodule list 

- Adds Apache License 2.0 as an acceptable source license per
  discussion in https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/110226
- Updates the URL for existing licenses to match the current path
  used by opensource.org.
- The submodule list in this file is stale and is very prone to
  being forgotten. The list of submodules in the submodules setion
  is replaced with a link to .gitmodules which has an active list
  of submodules at any given time.

Submodules
----------
Submodule in EDK II is allowed but submodule chain should be avoided
as possible as we can. Currently EDK II contains the following submodules
- CryptoPkg/Library/OpensslLib/openssl
- ArmPkg/Library/ArmSoftFloatLib/berkeley-softfloat-3
- MdeModulePkg/Universal/RegularExpressionDxe/oniguruma
- MdeModulePkg/Library/BrotliCustomDecompressLib/brotli
- BaseTools/Source/C/BrotliCompress/brotli
ArmSoftFloatLib is actually required by OpensslLib. It's inevitable
in openssl-1.1.1 (since stable201905) for floating point parameter
conversion, but should be dropped once there's no such need in future
release of openssl.
The current submodules used in EDK II are in `.gitmodules <.gitmodules>`__.
