fix(dpkg): extract License field for opkg/ipkg entries (#4963)
* fix(dpkg): extract License field for opkg/ipkg entries

opkg and ipkg use the dpkg cataloger but declare the package License
inline in the status DB (unlike Debian dpkg, where licenses live in
copyright files). The cataloger silently dropped the License field at
mapstructure decode time, so all opkg-managed packages reported empty
licenses.

This adds the field to the intermediate decode struct and the public
DpkgDBEntry, and populates licenses in newDpkgPackage using the alpine
cataloger's pattern: try license.ParseExpression first to keep valid
SPDX expressions whole, fall back to whitespace splitting for
space-separated lists.

Standard Debian dpkg status files never carry a License field per
Debian policy, so the new path is a no-op for them; the existing
copyright-file lookup in addLicenses is unaffected.

Closes #4940
