description:
Added the guess-license target.

It compares the license file from the package with the available licenses
in licenses/ and shows the diff to the best match.

This will hopefully make it easier for package authors to include the
LICENSE variable in the package Makefile. This variable being missing is
one of the most frequent error messages from pkglint (4187 out of 20044).
