  1. lint: help beginners to figure out what MISSING LICENSES means

    I spent around 50minutes debugging and reading the source codes to find out
    that you the reuse tool expects texts of licenses in the directory LICENSES.
    
    This commit adds a hint message for slower people like me.
    
    From:
    ```
     # MISSING LICENSES
    
    'CC-BY-4.0' found in:
    * CONTRIBUTING.md
    * README.md
    
     # SUMMARY
    
    * Bad licenses: 0
    * Deprecated licenses: 0
    * Licenses without file extension: 0
    * Missing licenses: CC-BY-4.0
    * Unused licenses: 0
    * Used licenses: CC-BY-4.0
    * Read errors: 0
    * files with copyright information: 2 / 2
    * files with license information: 2 / 2
    
    Unfortunately, your project is not compliant with version 3.0 of the REUSE Specification :-(
