Rewrite/remove GPL-only code #3

Currently, src/cxx/ and src/gnu_v2 contain the GPL-only code copied from libiberty library (part of GCC).

To allow linking the non-GPL or LGPL software we should rewrite it in LGPL or another compatible license.

the GPL code can be skipped on compilation time: https://github.com/rizinorg/rz-libdemangle/blob/main/meson_options.txt#L1

I believe this can be closed for now as having a build time option is already good IMHO. If somebody wants this for commercial reasons they can probably pay someone to write this.

i would keep this instead. no need to close it
