Copyright styles and merging

[garethsb]

Currently supported styles:

    "spdx": "SPDX-FileCopyrightText:",
    "spdx-c": "SPDX-FileCopyrightText: (C)",
    "spdx-symbol": "SPDX-FileCopyrightText: ©",
    "string": "Copyright",
    "string-c": "Copyright (C)",
    "string-symbol": "Copyright ©",
    "symbol": "©",

The first issue I encountered is that none of the _COPYRIGHT_PATTERNS match the spdx-c style, so --merge-copyrights is not effective. A small tweak to the first pattern is sufficient - would a PR be accepted?

Secondly, I've been asked to use the (even more redundant) style: "SPDX-FileCopyrightText: Copyright (c) "...
Would a PR to add sdpx-string-c (etc.) be accepted?

Thanks!
