npm allows for the license to be specified in an external file: https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json#license

Example (package.json):

{ "license" : "SEE LICENSE IN <filename>" }

Currently npm-license-crawler will return:

├─ foo-module@1.2.3
│  ├─ licenses: SEE LICENSE IN LICENSE.txt

It would be preferable for it to return the contents of LICENSE.txt as the licenses output.

Dumping the file contents to the licenses output may break the output.

I need to check to what extent --relativeLicensePath covers the "SEE LICENSE IN" case. It should work for at least if the filename is LICENSE or LICENSE.txt
