Document --licensefile-to-license-mappings with explicit path resolution behavior

[Copilot]

The --licensefile-to-license-mappings command line option lacked documentation. Users needed explicit guidance on path resolution semantics.

Changes

• Added docs/licensefile-mappings-json.md: Documents JSON format and path resolution behavior. License file paths are resolved relative to the JSON file's directory, not the working directory.

• Updated README.md:

  • Added option to command line arguments table
  • Added usage example with path resolution note

Example

Given a JSON file at /project/config/license-mappings.json:

{
  "licenses/MIT.txt": "MIT",
  "../external/Apache.txt": "Apache-2.0"
}

Paths resolve to:

• licenses/MIT.txt → /project/config/licenses/MIT.txt
• ../external/Apache.txt → /project/external/Apache.txt

Original prompt

Update documentation to include the newly added command line argument. Be sure to be explicit about how the path's need to be defined
