    Rework COPYING installed in /usr/include/xen/, due to several licences
    
    The notice in the COPYING file in "xen/include/public/COPYING" doesn't
    really apply to the files that ultimately are been install at
    "/usr/include/xen". The issue are headers in the "sys/" subdirectory
    that comes from other projects such as Linux or FreeBSD.
    
    The main issue is that there are two headers that have a different
    licence than the MIT licence:
    
    - xen-sys/Linux/gntalloc.h (installed as "sys/gntalloc.h") is public
      domain.
    - xen-sys/FreeBSD/gntdev.h (installed as "sys/gntdev.h") is BSD-2.
    
    To clarify this, we'll install a COPYING file with a different notice.
