Applying license outside the source set

[bric3]

Currently the plugin works by looking at the module source set

quilt-gradle-licenser/src/main/java/org/quiltmc/gradle/licenser/task/JavaSourceBasedTask.java

Line 39 in d0d48ba

for (var javaDir : this.sourceSet.getAllSource().matching(this.patternFilterable)) {

However if files leaves for any reasons outside the sourceset, they are not processed.

For example applying the header to gradle build scripts. Or to XML or YAML files that are not strictly part of a gradle project.

It might be nice to support that.

I have concerns over applying headers to build scripts automatically as it's kind of "modify the file that's currently defining how things are run", it's kind of like a recursion and I'm not entirely sure about it.

And for XML/YAML files, at the moment the plugin is not able to deal with those files either, and I do wonder what need is there to apply licenses to such files.

Build scripts are not just jitted, Gradle will compile them and configure them before. So it safe to perform this. Especially since it's "only" prepending comment.

Indeed, that's an issue right now (#11), but if such file format get supported this could be useful.
