add defmt "--log-format" option

[CvRXX]

With probe-rs you can pass the argument --log-format as described in https://defmt.ferrous-systems.com/custom-log-output#passing-log-format-to-printers. Would it be possible to add this to espflash as well so we can edit the log output?

At this time we have a fair bit of work ahead of us here, so I'm not sure we will prioritize this right now. However, I think eventually this would be nice functionality to add. We'd be happy to accept a PR from the community, otherwise one of us can revisit this once our current work has been completed.

#520 is basically the same issue

They're related but different, if I'm understanding correctly. In the linked issue they are asking for a different logging format, this issue is asking for support for providing an arbitrary format string.

I would be happy to write a PR. Any things I should consider? I'm a beginning rust programmer (month of experience or so) but am experienced in modern c++

I guess this would only apply when using --log-format defmt, maybe we should use --defmt-format name (?). I would suggest you look at probe-rs source for inspiration of this feature, here is my old branch trying to close #520: main...SergioGasquez:espflash:feat/defmt-verbose, dont think it will help you much but just in case.

Sorry for the late reply, work got to me. Amazing that you guys fixed the issue and sorry for not picking it up. Keep up the good work!
