Description of changes: Add the optimize flag to crawl mode

By submitting this pull request, I confirm that my contribution is made under the terms of the Apache 2.0 license.

We may be interested in replacing our Perl script called licensecheck (https://metacpan.org/pod/App::Licensecheck) with askalono in our package review tool. Currently licensecheck detect license header in various files, it would be great for askalono to support it in crawl mode too.

Sorry for the slow reply! I want to try to consider this functionality a bit, because adding a flag now implies that behavior being "stable" here on out when it's still a bit in flux.

For example, should Optimize imply a certain scanning mode, should it imply only optimizing on one file, what kinds of results should it return, etc.
