1.1.0

Third release of linim, a fast command-line tool for managing an open source project's license in one command.

This update brings various upgrades, firstly, a new --check flag for read-only header verification. Additionally, a --license flag has been introduced to allow selecting a license non-interactively.

On top of those new features, this update brings various fixes, CRLF line endings are properly preserved now, a UTF-8 BOM is now kept at the start of the file, and comments next to an SPDX header are no longer deleted.
