[patch 8/9] scripts/spdxcheck: Exclude dot files

[Thomas Gleixner]

None of these files

     .clang-format, .cocciconfig, .get_maintainer.ignore, .gitattributes,
     .gitignore, .mailmap

have copyrightable content. They are configuration files which use a
publicly documented format.

 # Ignore the license directory and the licensing documentation which would
