Recommend overriding licences and developers when using starter parent 

Publishing to Maven Central requires spring-boot-starter-parent to
declare its license and developers. When a user then uses
spring-boot-starter-parent as their project's parent, these values
are inherited and this is almost certainly unwanted.

This commit updates the documentation to recommend and demonstrate
overriding the license and developers that are inherited from the
starter parent.

Closes gh-18532
