Description

Proposed solution to SPDX Java Library issue 189 and SPDX Tag/Value Parser issue 50.

Parse the returned string searching for duplicated verification errors then reformat to better string values.

We may also be able to do this in the SPDX Java library in the relationship checks.

Research direction

Start with the returned verification-error string and read SPDX Java Library issue 189 and SPDX Tag/Value Parser issue 50. Determine where tools-java receives and formats that result, and compare whether relationship checks belong in the library. Done means duplicate verification errors are removed and the output uses clearer string values.
