license: update wildmat license information

Our license claims that the wildmat code (originally from Rich $alz) is
is under a BSD license that requires attribution. However, the wildmat
documentation states that the code is available in the public domain
(https://github.com/richsalz/wildmat), and the author himself has
indicated that we can remove the acknowledgement clause
(https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/issues/7050#issuecomment-2727028530).
