Support specifying the license file in the pyproject.toml file #1812

Briefcase can now read the project.license.file-key in the pyproject.toml file. Without this PR, the license file name is hard-coded to "LICENSE". This is relevant for linux builds, where the license file is included in the built package. With this PR, it still defaults to "LICENSE", but if project.license.file is set in pyproject.toml, then that file is used instead.

This is related to the LICENSE file handling in #1235

PR Checklist:

  • All new features have been tested
  • All new features have been documented
  • I have read the CONTRIBUTING.md file
  • I will abide by the code of conduct

Summary of in-person discussion: This is great; however, we probably want to:

  • Preserve the PEP621 structure of the license field as a dictionary
  • If the file sub-field is used, use that as the file name (rather than a separate license_file field)
  • If the text sub-field is used, output that text as a LICENSE file - possibly with a warning if the text doesn't appear to be a full license text
  • If license is a bare string (which will be the legacy behavior from older Briefcase projects), issue a warning and convert it to license = {"file": "LICENSE"}, since we know the license will be a file.

Looks good! There's obviously a few gaps related to license.text handling, but those are going to be difficult to address without a fix for #1829. I'll take a swing at some of the language in the error messages before this lands, but otherwise, I think this is good to land!

I've tweaked the error and warning text, so we're good to go! Thanks for the contribution
