This commit tightens certain dependency license checks in our build.
Firstly, the build will not fail if it cannot accurately identify the
type of license in one of our LICENSE.txt files. Secondly, dependencies
for licenses identified as requiring source redistribution will fail if
a corresponding SOURCES.txt file does not exist. This file should
include a hyperlink to a source artifact for the given dependency to be
used for redistribution during the release process.
We also add source distribution URLs (if applicable) to the generated
dependency info report. This is to be consumed by the release
manager for inclusion in our public dependency reports.
