feat: add batched PURL endpoint calls and conditional license fetching (#140)

* feat: add batched PURL endpoint calls and conditional license fetching

- Add --max-purl-batch-size flag (default: 5000, range: 1-9999) to control
  batch size for license detail API calls
- Skip PURL endpoint entirely when --generate-license is not set, improving
  performance for scans that don't need license attribution/details
- Implement batching in get_license_text_via_purl() to process packages in
  configurable chunks, preventing API overload on large repos
- Add validation for max_purl_batch_size parameter with clear error messages
- Remove unused check_full_scans_status() method (dead code cleanup)

This change optimizes license data retrieval by:
1. Only calling PURL endpoint when license output is actually needed
2. Processing packages in manageable batches to avoid timeouts/limits
3. Providing tunable batch sizes for different repo sizes

* Fixing --ignore-commit-files to properly work again

* properly included the enable diff param to the main module

* Adding NPM CLI to Dockerfile
