Expose licenses in dependencies API

Dominic Couture requested to merge dcouture-license-dependencies-api into master

What does this MR do and why?

It exposes licenses information in the dependencies API to be equivalent to the dependencies controller (/:group/:project/-/dependencies.json).

Related to gitlab-com/gl-security/engineering-and-research/gib#40

Screenshots or screen recordings

The license was already showing on http://gdk.test:3000/gitlab-org/gitlab-shell/-/dependencies

But now the REST API also contains the data http://gdk.test:3000/api/v4/projects/2/dependencies

How to set up and validate locally

  1. Add this CI config to a project (I used gitlab-org/gitlab-shell in the GDK and replaced the existing config for this test)

    include:
      - template: Security/Dependency-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml
      - template: Security/License-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml
  2. Wait for the pipeline to complete

  3. Visit http://gdk.test:3000/api/v4/projects/2/dependencies and observe the licenses for the packages where the info is available
