Feature request: automate registration using `reuse register` #931

Thanks for developing reuse!

The registration process could be made simpler by running $ reuse register. Once all the server-side checks are successful the tool could print out links to the badge in asciidoc, markdown and rest formats.

It's an interesting idea but I'd refrain from adding this into the tool, whose features shall be focussed on helping to make a project REUSE compliant, and checking its status. While the API is great, it's not a mandatory step for REUSE conformance.
