    License: list the Bison-generated orafce parser
    
    gpcontrib/orafce/sqlparse.c and sqlparse.h are generated by GNU Bison
    3.7.4 and ship with upstream orafce.  They carry the Bison skeleton's
    GPL-3.0-or-later notice with the Bison special exception, so a reviewer
    scanning for GPL text finds them, but LICENSE did not explain them.
    
    The ASF settled this case in LEGAL-291: the exception lets the
    generated parser be distributed under terms of the distributor's
    choice, so it is distributed under the Apache License and needs no
    LICENSE or NOTICE entry.  The build-tools allowance in resolved.html
    does not name Bison, so LEGAL-291, not that allowance, is the basis.
    
    List the two files at the end of the build system section, with their
    copyright line and that basis, and retitle the section to cover them.
