More Output Formats

[steffenf14]

Hi,
are there plans to add more output formats like junit?
My goal is to have a better integration in gitlab pipelines for example.
I have seen such implementations in deptrac or php codesniffer

I did not plan it yet.
If someone is willing to provide a PR I will sure have a look at it and merge it if it's good.

Issue #317 requests an output for GitHub Actions.

Besides the mentioned formats (junit & GitHub Actions), I would like to ask for API to define custom formats myself.

I'm working in a project with multiple linters and I'm writing custom formatters/outputs/reporters for them to return an constant output logging.
So far I was able to write reporters for CSpell & ESLint.

I think the format that is used by flake8 (and a lot of other linters) should be one of the standard options, as it is an established output standard used by several linters and is easy to parse:

$ flake8
