  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.  See also this thread.

  * modules/xalloc-oversized (License): Change from GPLv3+.
