Beschreibung
Consider the following text:
```
SPDX-License-Identifier: (GPL-2.0+ OR BSD)
```
Here `BSD` is not a valid license expression and even adding a rule is insufficient because the `SPDX-License-Identifier` based detection was moved before the hash license detection.
We should either:
1. do the hash license detection first so we can catch these with rules, and then do the SPDX identifier based detection
2. if we get unknown-spdx we consider license detection with rules
3. Also optionally consider license detection with required phrase rules if nothing works (would lose license expression info for this potentially)?
