Avoid checking License for generated sources

[acomodi]

Adding a generated Verilog (or other) source is currently not possible if the license check is being used.

There should be a way to skip the check for generated files or, alternatively, add the possibility to add an escape line to bypass the check for a given file.

we should mark them as generated or vendored (what linguist calls third party) in the .gitattributes;

• https://github.com/github/linguist/blob/master/docs/overrides.md#generated-code
• https://github.com/github/linguist/blob/master/docs/overrides.md#vendored-code

The license checker should then understand this information.

We should not have a way to bypass the license check.
