Feature: using with jasmine --reporter command line switch

[apla]

• [x] I have this issue with the latest release of jasmine-spec-reporter - 4.2.1
• [x] I have this issue with the latest release of jasmine 3.3.1
• [x] I can reproduce this issue with one of the examples

Current behavior

jasmine allows to use reporter as a command line option, like jasmine --reporter=jasmine-spec-reporter, but jasmine-spec-reporter itself is not compatible.

failed to register reporter "jasmine-spec-reporter"
Report is not a constructor

Also I tried jasmine --reporter=jasmine-spec-reporter/built/spec-reporter.js. In this case, no error reported, but also reporter not works.

This feature seems handy but it can only be used with the default configuration of jasmine-spec-reporter. This feature expect that the reporter module export a constructor (https://github.com/jasmine/jasmine/issues/1027#issuecomment-360873492) but currently jasmine-spec-reporter export:

• SpecReporter: the reporter constructor
• DisplayProcessor: the class to extend to customize the reporter output

A way to do that without breaking the current exports could be to have a dedicated node module with only the constructor exported. IMO, it sounds a bit complicated for the benefit of this feature.

Any thoughts?
