Descrizione
### Description
When using --only-findings together with --package, the only-findings filtering doesn't take effect since the for_packages attribute is always set. This rather defeats the purpose and leads to output files that are 100s of times bigger than really needed.
I suggest that https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/blob/develop/src/scancode/plugin_only_findings.py needs an exception to ignore for_packages
### How To Reproduce
e.g. `scancode --package --copyright --license --license-text --only-findings --classify --summary --tallies --license-clarity-score --json-pp=scancode-package-and-only-findings.json PATH`
where PATH could be extracted from something like `https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/log4j/log4j/1.2.17/log4j-1.2.17.jar`
The resulting json is about 10,000 lines (instead of 1000 you'd get without the packages option) due to uninformative items like:
```
{
"path": "log4j-1.2.17.jar-extract/org/apache/log4j/Appender.class",
"type": "file",
"package_data": [],
"for_packages": [
"pkg:maven/log4j/log4j@1.2.17?uuid=03c476c1-0273-4156-ba39-639b19b337c5"
],
