Allow CLI to scan for licenses by walking a directory instead of on file at a time #17

There is already an unused identifyLicensesInDirectory() which walks a dir and calls IndentifyLicensesInFile() which calls IdentifyLicensesInString()... but it is not used anywhere. It should be available from the CLI with --dir (like --file is).

The API still is string only. Adding file and/or dir support etc... would be a separate issue.
