util/lint & LICENSES: Add GCC-exception-3.1 to license exceptions
The gcov files in the lib directory are licensed GPL 3.0 with the GCC runtime library exception. Add this as a valid license so that the files can get a correct SPDX identifier.

+GCC RUNTIME LIBRARY EXCEPTION
+
+Version 3.1, 31 March 2009
+
+General information: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gcc-exception.html
+
+Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
+
+Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
+license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+This GCC Runtime Library Exception ("Exception") is an additional
+permission under section 7 of the GNU General Public License, version 3
+("GPLv3"). It applies to a given file (the "Runtime Library") that bears
+a notice placed by the copyright holder of the file stating that the
+file is governed by GPLv3 along with this Exception.
+
+When you use GCC to compile a program, GCC may combine portions of
+certain GCC header files and runtime libraries with the compiled
+program. The purpose of this Exception is to allow compilation of
+non-GPL (including proprietary) programs to use, in this way, the header
+files and runtime libraries covered by this Exception.
+
+0. Definitions.
+
+ A file is an "Independent Module" if it either requires the Runtime
+ Library for execution after a Compilation Process, or makes use of an
+ interface provided by the Runtime Library, but is not otherwise based
+ on the Runtime Library.
+
+ "GCC" means a version of the GNU Compiler Collection, with or without
+ modifications, governed by version 3 (or a specified later version) of
+ the GNU General Public License (GPL) with the option of using any
+ subsequent versions published by the FSF.
+
+ "GPL-compatible Software" is software whose conditions of propagation,
+ modification and use would permit combination with GCC in accord with
+ the license of GCC.
+
+ "Target Code" refers to output from any compiler for a real or virtual
+ target processor architecture, in executable form or suitable for
+ input to an assembler, loader, linker and/or execution phase.
+ Notwithstanding that, Target Code does not include data in any format
+ that is used as a compiler intermediate representation, or used for
+ producing a compiler intermediate representation.
+
+ The "Compilation Process" transforms code entirely represented in
+ non-intermediate languages designed for human-written code, and/or in
+ Java Virtual Machine byte code, into Target Code. Thus, for example,
+ use of source code generators and preprocessors need not be considered
+ part of the Compilation Process, since the Compilation Process can be
+ understood as starting with the output of the generators or
+ preprocessors.
+
+ A Compilation Process is "Eligible" if it is done using GCC, alone or
+ with other GPL-compatible software, or if it is done without using any
+ work based on GCC. For example, using non-GPL-compatible Software to
+ optimize any GCC intermediate representations would not qualify as an
+ Eligible Compilation Process.
+
+1. Grant of Additional Permission.
+
+ You have permission to propagate a work of Target Code formed by
+ combining the Runtime Library with Independent Modules, even if such
+ propagation would otherwise violate the terms of GPLv3, provided that
+ all Target Code was generated by Eligible Compilation Processes. You
+ may then convey such a combination under terms of your choice,
+ consistent with the licensing of the Independent Modules.
+
+2. No Weakening of GCC Copyleft.
+
+ The availability of this Exception does not imply any general
+ presumption that third-party software is unaffected by the copyleft
+ requirements of the license of GCC.
