PATCH 1/1 default-distrovars: remove less from WHITELIST_GPL-3.0

As oe-core commit 37c8c2c5f6937520eaf9f5d981f9315e36eba4bb and fa7bdf96b8eb8b5078db38249c5c60ec511c35c6 said, Mark Nudelman (author of less) has given permission to utilize a generic 2-clause BSD, so we remove it from WHITELIST_GPL-3.0 which caused

...
|NOTE: INCLUDING less as buildable despite INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE because it has been whitelisted
...
