xalloc-oversized: relax license to LGPLv2+ Unlike the bulk of xalloc* which calls exit() on allocation failure, and thus is unacceptable in a library, the xalloc-oversized.h header is a mere macro that makes checks for allocation overflow possible in all sorts of portable code. In fact, the LGPLv2+ module malloca already has a copy of this check, arguing that this header is more useful under a permissive license.
