util-linux: Update License Information (remove GPLv3 Licnese)

The upstream authors have updated the licenses of a couple subcomponents,
these were GPLv3, but updated to be either GPLv2 or LGPLv2.1 accordingly.
These changes make the util-linux package become completely non-GPLv3.

Cleaned up some white space issue also

+Notes from Pdraig (via email) :
+
+Actually LGPLv2+ is most appropriate for that.
+The intent is that it's licensed under the LGPL anyway:
+
+$ gnulib/gnulib-tool --local-dir gl --extract-license mbsalign
+LGPL
+
+When extracting this to util-linux I should have adjusted
+the boilerplate default license in the file (which gnulib-tool
+can do on import).
