Allow command output as XML and/or JSON

[hmemcpy]

This will make consuming the output from choco easier from, say, powershell, without using the DLLs directly.
Please consider adding this support (heh, I think SVN does this for all its commands)

I'm pretty sure you can do this now by switching out the log4net logger. Should be pretty easy.

I did a quick spike on outputting xml (because it's built in). This is only like five messages from choco list -lo -r:

Does this look like consuming will be easier? I'm gather not really as a start, but perhaps I'm confused.

There doesn't look like there is anything more to do in this issue, so I'm going to go ahead and close it. We can always reopen it again later, if necessary.
