glibc license updates

I updated the License tag in the RPM file to match reality more closely:

# In general, GPLv2+ is used by programs, LGPLv2+ is used for
# libraries.
#
# LGPLv2+ with exceptions is used for things that are linked directly
# into dynamically linked programs and shared libraries (e.g. crt
# files, lib*_nonshared.a).  Historically, this exception also applies
# to parts of libio.
#
# GPLv2+ with exceptions is used for parts of the Arm unwinder.
#
# GFDL is used for the documentation.
#
# Some other licenses are used in various places (BSD, Inner-Net,
# ISC, Public Domain).
#
# HSRL and FSFAP are only used in test cases, which currently do not
# ship in binary RPMs, so they are not listed here.  MIT is used for
# scripts/install-sh, which does not ship, either.
#
# GPLv3+ is used by manual/texinfo.tex, which we do not use.
#
# LGPLv3+ is used by some Hurd code, which we do not build.
#
# LGPLv2 is used in one place (time/timespec_get.c, by mistake), but
# it is not actually compiled, so it does not matter for libraries.
License: LGPLv2+ and LGPLv2+ with exceptions and GPLv2+ and GPLv2+ with exceptions and BSD and Inner-Net and ISC and Public Domain and GFDL

This a substantial change from what we had documented before, but the actual licensing conditions themselves are unchanged.

Thanks,
Florian
