We hit a problem trying to exclude L/GPLv3 recipes where
INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE could only match exactly one license. The older
wildcard syntax had been broken by a more recent SPDX change
(specifying a string without a SPDXLICENSEMAP entry could crash), so
"*GPLv3" wouldn't work.
This fixes that, and extends INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE to handle a
whitespace-separated list of license strings to exclude (e.g "GPLv3
LGPLv3"). This is compatible with existing usage because the LICENSE
parsing is already done on whitespace: a pre-existing
INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE value with whitespace could not have matched
anything in practice.
All other behavior should be unaffected. Note specifically that the
LGPLv2_WHITELIST_${license} variables are used as whitelists for all
licenses (i.e. identically to WHITELIST_... and
HOSTTOOLS_WHITELIST_...). That sounds wrong, but seems to have been
the preexisting behavior. Ideas?
