Install licensedcode-data with ScanCode release wheels

[macayu17]

Fixes #5053

This PR adds licensedcode-data to the default dependencies for the scancode-toolkit and scancode-toolkit-mini release wheel metadata.

The release wheels already depended on licensedcode-index, but default installs did not pull in the license data package. That could leave built-in license loading without the data files needed at runtime.

This also fixes the optional licenses extra typo from licensecode-data to licensedcode-data, and adds metadata tests so the release pyprojects keep the license data and index packages together.

Pull request overview

This PR ensures licensedcode-data is installed by default with the scancode-toolkit and scancode-toolkit-mini release wheels, preventing runtime failures when built-in license loading expects bundled license data files.

Changes:

• Add licensedcode-data to the default dependency lists for the two release-wheel pyproject-*.toml files.
• Fix the licenses optional extra typo (licensecode-data → licensedcode-data) across pyprojects.
• Add a metadata-focused test to keep release wheel dependencies consistent, and document the fix in the changelog.

• These checks are also exact-string matches. If the optional dependency is ever expressed with a version/marker (e.g. licensedcode-data>=… or the typo appears as licensecode-data>=…), the assertions may give false negatives. Consider matching by parsed requirement name or using a prefix/name-based check.
