OutputHTML: Prioritize license_references from scan data

The `--license-references` cli argument enables collection and storge
of license reference data in output files. So as long as it was present
during the scan and any subsequent conversion the `license_references`
should not be empty.
In such cases, the license reference table shall be filled with the
already stored data.
Only if the `license_references` list is empty, should the licenses
be collected from the `license_db` as a fall back.
