[RFC] Include the full license details (including the reference texts) for every matched licenses #1697

Description

Description

We never include the actual texts of a matched license, only the license matched text. This could be a mere notice or reference and not a full text. To automate attribution notice creation, it would be useful to have also all the license texts and extra details.

Therefore I suggest we had a new --license-reference option that would work such that a license_references scan-level attribute (as opposed to file-level) is added to the scan results and would contain a sorted list of the License object as available in the license data (both the .yml and the .LICENSE data)
