Bug ID: 67205

Original bug title:
Upload Wizard must not use async=false for checking the validity of a custom
license tag
Reproducing:
* https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard
* Proceed until Licensing. Select This file is not my own work. -> Another
reason not mentioned above -> The license is described by the following
wikitext (must contain a valid copyright tag)
Reason:
I. It's deprecated:
Use of mediawiki.api async=false param is deprecated. The sychronous mode will
be removed in the future.
II. It's bad practise because it freezes the user interface. And given other
bugs with the custom license input, it really goes unresponsive, when for
example entering "{{CopyrightByWikimedia}}"
I *really* question whether the one who coded that ever cared about Commons
users.
