Fixes [YOCTO #10898]

It is hard to get the exact start and end for included license text
during a LIC_FILES_CHKSUM operation.  I updated the notes indicating
that the QA message returned upon failure includes the attempted
license text.  The user can better adjust his LIC_FILES_CHKSUM
statement to then dig out the proper text.
