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). [1]: https://spdx.org/licenses/ [2]: https://spdx.org/spdx-specification-21-web-version#h.jxpfx0ykyb60 Appendix IV: SPDX License Expressions [3]: https://spdx.org/spdx-specification-21-web-version#h.ruv3yl8g6czd I.2 Exceptions List
