Prior to this change, the `license_id` API would return a license or `None` in the event that the file had an identifiable license or does not have a license that could be identified. This change modifies the `license_id` API to better match the other identify APIs: after this change a set of 0 or more licenses should be returned. Signed-off-by: Enji Cooper <yaneurabeya@gmail.com>
A lot of source code uses SPDX IDs instead of full license text for brevity. Support the shorter ID format with the license_id* API. This change renames the `license_id` API to `license_ids` for clarity. Signed-off-by: Enji Cooper <yaneurabeya@gmail.com>

This change adds a new option, `--tag-type`, which allows one to identify by either file type or license type. This exposes the `identify.license_ids(..)` API for public consumption on the CLI. Signed-off-by: Enji Cooper <yaneurabeya@gmail.com>

This change does 3 main things:
identify.license_id(..)'s API contract to match theidentify.tags_from_path(..)andidentify.tags_from_filename(..)APIs.identify-cli.This change makes it easier to identify licenses in source files without having to invoke the API manually.
