Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 26/26] docs: reporting-bugs: add SPDX tag and license hint, remove markers

Remove the last leftovers from the old text. Also delete the temporary
markers added for the rewrite of this document. Add a SPDX tag with the
new license now that the rewrite is complete. Add a license hint whom to
attribute when distributing the text under CC-BY 4.0.
