Check for software license violations using SPDX identifiers

mo khan requested to merge 13083-blacklist-violation-check into master

What does this MR do?

License names can change and some of our underlying tooling for performing the license scans can sometimes produce different names for the same logical license. This change attempts to update the detection by matching on the SPDX identifier instead of just the name. I have left name matching for cases where an SPDX identifier is not available for a custom, user-entered license.
