[ptxdist] [PATCH 0/2] license-report: also create CSV lists

[Andreas Pretzsch <apr@cn-eng.de>]

When calling "ptxdist make license-report", license reports for
both the target- and the host-tools-packages are created.

Based upon the license info files created during the regular build
process, LaTeX files are generated, which are then converted into
matching PDFs, containing package informations, license tags as well
as the licenses themselves.
These are called "report/license-report.pdf" respectively
"report/license-report-tools.pdf".

Extend this process to also create a list of these packages with the
most basic fields as CSV:
    "name"|"version"|"licenses"|"flags"
    "somepackage"|"1.2.3"|"Apache-2.0"|"attribution"
    [...]

These are called "report/license-report.csv" respectively
"report/license-report-tools.csv".

This minimal report is much more suited for a comparison of different
builds resp. releases, and can be easily imported into some spreadsheet.
Which in turn is useful both for developers and legal department.
Keeping it minimal (e.g. no URL) most likely avoids CSV escaping hell.

Tested with PTXdist 2016.01.0, but given the minimal differences
against PTXdist 2018.03.0, I assume this is still fine. Albeit I did
not test it.

It is split into two commits (to ease local maintenance), but of course
could be squashed into one.
Also the commit subjects could be adapted, removing "scripts/lib", or
if squashed even simply to "license-report: also create CSV lists".

While all of this is working (and sufficient for my use case), it is
also a bit of a RFC. Just don't expect I'll do some _substantial_ rework
or improvement in a timely fashion...
So, feel free to squash and/or fixup at your own discretion.

Last, sorry for having this one delayed a year and a half before sending
mainline...
