getitimer.2: Change license to note that page may be modified 

The page as originally written carried text that said the page may
be freely distributed but made no statement about modification.
In the 20+ years since it was first written, the page has in fact
seen repeated, sometimes substantial, modifications, and only a
small portion of the original text remains. One could I suppose
rewrite the last few pieces that remain from the original,
but as the largest contributor to the pages existing text,
I'm just going to relicense it to explicitly note that
modification is permitted. (I presume the failure by the
original author to grant permission to modify was simply an
oversight; certainly, the large number of people who have
changed the page have taken that to be the case.)
