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+.
