In general, I think this is a good idea, but I think it's mostly
meaningful in combination with adopting SPDX license abbreviations across
the board, including in the copyright-format standard. To be clear, I
agree with doing that, but I think it has the most value if it's not done
piecemeal, since ideally the file names in common-licenses should match
the names we use in copyright-format.

(Some symlinking may be required if we have to rename anything; I haven't
checked if that would be the case.)
