Add globbing support for licenses in the License Policies `policies.yml` file #1347

It would be great if one could glob for licenses in policies.yml

Some use cases:

mit-* – for non-standard MIT
cc-*-nc-* , cc-*-nd-* – to match every CC license that includes either NonCommercial or NoDerivative limitations
LicenseRef-* – for any license that’s not been added to SPDX License List, so potentially of a more obscure kind (depends on https://github.com/nexB/scancode.io/issues/1348)
