Split the confusing "and/or" for gnulib, so dual-licensed and GPL-only
parts are clearly noted, and add the missing LGPL license. Lines in
GNU_EFI_LICENSE are ordered the same way as the information is given
in the LICENSE file.
The license situation of inc/subst/elf.h is curious: The file itself
is licensed under LGPL-2.1-or-later, and used in gnu-efi under
LGPL-3.0-or-later (accompanied by the appropriate license files),
which in turn allows using it for object code under different terms
with certain conditions (see section 3 of LGPL 3.0, as noted in the
gnu-efi LICENSE file).
