adding WXwindows-exception-3.1 license?

[jan vermaete]

The WXwindows-exception-3.1 license is a valid SPDX license [1].
And used in the `openscenegraph` recipe of meta-ros [2].
Generating the spdx (do_create_spdx) is now failing for this recipe.

Could this license be added to the `spdx-licenses.json` file?

That file is generated from the the scripts/update-sdpx-licenses.py
update script. I did just run an update so we can pull in recent
changes however that license isn't among them.

I therefore checked and it is because it is a license exception, not a
full license.

Copying Joshua, I'm not sure how we want to handle the exceptions.

Cheers,
