Remove license excemption for PLPA and update GPL-2 license text 

The Portable Linux Processor Affinity (PLPA) project has been depreciated in
favour of the Portable Hardware Locality (hwloc) project. So the license
exception present in previous versions of htop is obsolete and thus removed.

The text of COPYING has been updated to the latest upstream license text
of GPL-2 from the Free Software Foundation, Inc. (FSF).
There are only editorial changes like line wrapping, removing page breaks,
updating the "19yy" to "<year>" and changing the FSF address.

Appendix 2: Special exception concerning PLPA
In the following exception, "PLPA" means (i) code released by the
Portable Linux Processor Affinity Project, or (ii) derivative works of
such code, in both cases provided that the code is covered entirely by
free software licensing terms.
As a special exception to the GNU GPL, the licensors of htop give you
permission to combine GNU GPL-licensed code in htop (and derivative
works of such code) with PLPA. You may copy and distribute such a
combined work following the terms of the GNU GPL for htop and the
applicable licenses of the version of PLPA used in your combined work,
provided that you include the source code of such version of PLPA when
and as the GNU GPL requires distribution of source code.
