please add path scanned to JSON

[armijnhemel]

When I am scanning a directory it would be very useful if the scanned path would be available in the JSON. For example if I would do this:

./scancode --full-root -f json-pp -n 4 ~/tmp/linux-4.10.1/ > /tmp/scancode.json

I would like to have the scanned path (expanded) available in the JSON in "scancode_options", as I would want to be able to easily cut this path from all of the file names in the JSON (so I have relative paths). The standard option (when not using --full-root) is too aggressive pruning paths.

This make sense. You said:

What is wrong with it?

Maybe it is just my memory playing tricks on me and I remembered #593 but it seems that this is indeed not an issue. Still, I would like to see this added, as I guess it is just a minor tweak :-)
