COPYING: make sure we ship the relevant license texts
This adds LGPL and GFDL texts from the GNU web site and updates the GPL one: COPYING: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt COPYING.LGPL: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.1.txt COPYING.GFDL: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/fdl-1.1.txt The update to the GPL text is purely cosmetic. However, shipping the exact same file as GNU publishes may help distros that deduplicate the license texts or hardlink duplicates.
