Why are we doing this work

Golang's built-in libraries like stdlib aren't covered in License Scanning.

This causes the license for affected libraries to appear as Unknown in GitLab, even if the package is otherwise formatted correctly for ingestion by GitLab (e.g. "purl": "pkg:golang/stdlib@1.22.4").
