mgetgroups: relax license to LGPLv2+
getgrouplist is part of glibc and LGPLv2+; the mgetgroups module
is merely an ease-of-use wrapper around this interface. There's
nothing in the algorithm worth protecting by the more-restrictive
GPLv3+. See also this thread.

* modules/getugroups (License): Change from GPLv3+.
* modules/mgetgroups (License): Likewise.
* modules/getgroups (License): Change from LGPLv3+.
