Update qtmain library license information
The qtmain library is now available under commercial licenses, too. Furthermore remove license from table with 3rd party code - it is already linked to under 'Additional Information'. Finally, fix description, and remove incorrect reference to 'QAxContainer'. Change-Id: I8a5ee2af54676260289a94524ef4bb080d94ec55 Reviewed-by: Lars Knoll <lars.knoll@qt.io>
