Changes bitwarden-cli to use the OSS download that is still licensed under GPLv3.0. Also switches to use the "only" variant of GPLv3.0.

Closes #6199

Starting with [cli-v2024.6.1](https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/releases/tag/cli-v2024.6.1) (the first version to offer a separate Open Source Software variant), Bitwarden bifurcated their CLI into a proprietary variant licensed under the [Bitwarden License Agreement](https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/blob/main/LICENSE_BITWARDEN.txt) and an OSS variant licensed under GPLv3.0.

The proprietary variant does not have a SPDX Identifier as required by the contributing guide – and expressly prohibits non-paid production-use under term 2.1 – so this switches to use the OSS version that still has a SPDX indexed license.

Additionally, a review of their licensing indicates that it is not offered under the "or latter" variant of GPL-3.0, so I've revised it to be the "only" variant.

Commenting on this because it seems important, and was opened quite some time ago. It just needs to be merged with the changes in #6462 and updated to most recent version (2025-3-0)
