Add function "has_binary_license" to check if a file has a
non-permissive license contains one. PBL is not recognized by scancode,
causing it to be flagged as a non-permissive license. CI doesn't allow
any non-permissive licenses, although, files flageed as SPDX are
allowed. Workaround causes all files with a valid PBL to be flagged as
missing an SPDX.
Add condition in "has_spdx_text_in_scancode_output" to ignore any spdx
identifier with "unknown" in the name. Scancode erroneously matches PBL
to matched_rule.identifer "spdx-license-identifier: unknown-spdx". This
prevents the workaround from working.

SPDX are not yet done in our codebase. We suggest them to be present but 3rd party
drivers have not yet been updated. The check as it was causes problems when updating
3rd party drivers (red flags in the PR).
Proper fix will be to clean up SPDX id in the codebase.
ScanCode can possibly return many licenses found for a single file scanned.
This commit ensures that the file is not reported as lacking a permissive license
if at least one license found in it is permissive.
Previously the script was reporting an issue if it found at least one license
in a file that was not permissive.
Additionally catch more errors and provide specific details about failures.
Provide unitest.
Add unit test and dependent stubs for testing of scancode-evaluate.py.
license_check takes a JSON as argument and checks for source missing
copyright or license notices.
Each JSON represents a separate test case, and stubs are added for test case
3 and 4 where license_check looks for an spdx notice in the source file.
