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)

This will include the --licenses-reference option and the licenses_reference top level attribute.

Report a reference of all licenses

The new --licenses-reference option adds a new "licenses_reference" top
level attribute to a scan seen in the JSON and YAML attribute. This
contains all the license details.

Also bump the WIP version.
