Qt-LGPL-exception-1.1: Add new ID for Nokia-Qt-exception-1.1
And deprecate the old ID, which had two problems [1]: * Qt no longer belongs to Nokia, and they've changed the title upstream to reflect that. * Qt has another exception for GPL3, and the old ID didn't mention the target license. This commit adds the new identifier and deprecates the old one in its favor. I've used Qt-LGPL-exception-1.1 instead of Kai's suggested Qt-exception-LGPL-1.1 to match the {name}-{target}-exception-{version} pattern suggested by the existing i2p-gpl-java-exception. I've set an <alt> in the exception title so it will match the old "Nokia " prefix, the current "The Qt Company " prefix, or no prefix at all. I've used "The Qt Company " prefix in the test file to match the upstream text (the test is a copy/paste of the upstream text with trailing whitespace removed).
