eCos-2.0: Replace deprecated="true" with <obsoleted-by>
From [1]:
As a result, a number of licenses formerly included in the SPDX
License List have been deprecated as licenses, and correct usage
employs the License Expression Syntax as of v2.0.
So the sole reason for the deprecations seems to be "there's a better
way to say that now".
Telling people "use an expression instead" is less useful than saying
"use this expression instead: $SOME_EXPRESSION". This commit updates
the eCos license (the only deprecated license currently in this
repository) to do that, using the WITH exception syntax [2] and the
eCos exception label from [3] defined in SPDX 2.1 (and possibly in
earlier versions).
