COPYING: make it clear that PTXdist is GPL-2.0-only, not -or-later
The existence of the GPLv2 license text in the repository implies that PTXdist is licensed under at least version 2 of the license. However, there are no hints as to whether the "or later" portion of the default license dedication in the section "How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs" after the FSF GPL license text also applies to PTXdist. Make clear that the "or later" portion does not apply, for the same reasons as discussed in the Linux kernel project.
