Will Norris 4f7a460357 support ignoring file or directories
use the doublestar library to support pattern matching of files or
directories to ignore. This replaces (and deprecates) the previous
-skip flag which only supported file extensions.

# addlicense
The program ensures source code files have copyright license headers
by scanning directory patterns recursively.
It modifies all source files in place and avoids adding a license header
to any file that already has one.
## install
go get -u github.com/google/addlicense
## usage
addlicense [flags] pattern [pattern ...]
-c copyright holder (defaults to "Google LLC")
-f custom license file (no default)
-l license type: apache, bsd, mit, mpl (defaults to "apache")
-y year (defaults to current year)
-check check only mode: verify presence of license headers and exit with non-zero code if missing
-ignore file patterns to ignore, for example: -ignore **/*.go -ignore vendor/**
The pattern argument can be provided multiple times, and may also refer
to single files.
The `-ignore` flag can use any pattern [supported by
doublestar](https://github.com/bmatcuk/doublestar#patterns).
