Going forward we want all newly created source files to have an SPDX-License-Identifier tag present.
Initially mandate this for C, Python, Perl, Shell source files, as well as JSON (QAPI) and Makefiles, while encouraging users to consider it for other file types. The new attempt at detecting missing SPDX-License-Identifier relies on the hooks for relying triggering logic at the end of scanning a new file in the diff.
