View the matched text of a license match #561

Description

Description

When I review a license scan with license matches (and --license-text) I would like to view the actual match text for each match

As a refinement, I would like to also see highlighted the non matched parts by displaying a visual diff against the matched RULE text.

With this feature, I would be able to validate the correctness of a license match without having the scanned codebase on hand.

Notes: for the diff, we could use diff-match-patch that has both a Python and a JS implementation.
