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

-- ArmPkg/Library/ArmSoftFloatLib/berkeley-softfloat-3
-- MdeModulePkg/Universal/RegularExpressionDxe/oniguruma

-ArmSoftFloatLib is actually required by OpensslLib. It's inevitable
