License cpp jun16 (#170716)
The big additions here are:
1) Checking against the catalog of known licenses
1) Parsing of the known catalogs from disk
1) Nicer error messages

With this PR we are getting pretty close to feature parity. The big
changes left are updating the contents of of the data directory so we
match what we want. Execution across the directory is still around 35s.

Known extra work:
1) Propagate the `data` directory
1) Make sure the auditable output is looking as we want it
1) Make sure to treat the root directory different where we want to
enforce the presence of the file copyright
1) Remove hardcoded name "engine" for the root directory (that means
shifting all the integration tests to run in a `engine` directory.
1) Maybe cleanup the file format for the known licenses?

Flutter Engine

Setting up the Engine development environment

See here

gclient bootstrap

Flutter engine uses gclient to manage dependencies.

If you've already cloned the flutter repository:

  1. Copy one of the engine/scripts/*.gclient to the root folder as .gclient:
    1. Googlers: copy rbe.gclient to enable faster builds with RBE
    2. Everyone else: copy standard.gclient
  2. run gclient sync from the root folder
