Generate license file from dependencies

[Geal]

cargo-about can generate a license list from a template, that looks like that:

and it requires a toml file listing the accepted licenses:

accepted = [
    "Apache-2.0",
    "MIT",
    "CC0-1.0",
    "ISC",
    "BSD-3-Clause"
]

cargo-license generates the list as text directly:

I'm halfway through generating a license, and adding a CI step to make sure the license file is up to date.

Are we fine with an HTML output, with inline CSS?
