Can not detect license of packages imported only in tests

[blanet]

go-licenses can not detect packages that only imported in tests. Do we have any plan to support it?

This functionality would be very useful

go-licenses/licenses/library.go

Lines 63 to 66 in d483853

	cfg := &packages.Config{
	Context: ctx,
	Mode: packages.NeedImports | packages.NeedDeps | packages.NeedFiles | packages.NeedName | packages.NeedModule,
	}

If the config here gets a Tests: true argument, it also searches for test packages. Welcome making this an optional flag.

This will be very helpful.

@blanet It seems that you started some experiments with the change, and I'm wondering if you plan to continue working on it. If not, maybe I can take a look at this and credit your work. Thanks!

@davidhsingyuchen Thansk! Just feel free to go on with my old work if they can help!

@Bobgy Could you help share when a release will be cut to include this feature? Asking here because CONTRIBUTING.md does not seem to mention release process. Thanks!
