Cargo's license-file manifest key allows a crate author to specify the path to a license file. However, some projects have different license files applying to different files. Cargo should add a new license-files (plural) key which takes an array of file paths, which would be mutually exclusive with the license-file key.

Discussion on internals here.

cc @infinity0 since this will also require an update to debcargo.

I would like to take this on. Looks like it would be similar to 85d09d0 ?
