license.bbclass: improve reproducibility
Two identical builds can end up having deploy/licenses folders that differ. This is observed in cases where there are several different license files of the same name in different folders, i.e. "COPYING". In those case we have to differentiate the files somehow and we do it via file expensions such as COPYING.0, COPYING.1. However, which file will get which extension is presently random. This means, for example, that COPYING.0 in one build is the same as COPYING.1 in the other (and vice versa). Although there is mothing wrong with this, for the sake of binary reproducibility it is preferable to have a deterministic outcome.
