Update README to clarify license name
The license in README.md was named as "New BSD License", which is in practice unambiguous, but no longer as readily recognized as is "3-Clause BSD License". This updates the wording to call it by the latter name, for that reason and for consistency with the previous commit's changes to top-of-module comments, while also noting parenthetically that it is also called the New BSD License. The main reason for retaining "New BSD License" parenthetically is to prevent anyone from being confused into thinking this change is in any way associated with a change to the license, or that any license change has occurred or is forthcoming. (This does *not* change how GitPython is actually licensed in any way.)
