Allow capturing logs as string
Describe the new feature
Similar to #188, I want to be able to capture the PuLP output and put it all in a single log line, rather than having it go to stdout directly. Instead of creating a temporary file and pointing PuLP to the log file, I would like to be able to get the log output as a string, similar to how you can do it with subprocess.check_output(). Alternatively, we could provide a file object (like StringIO) if that's easier.

Python has a native way of getting output from subprocess command calls: https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html#subprocess.check_output
This make sense, many commercial solvers already provide a file object interface, if I remember correctly. I'd love to check a PR if you feel like helping out : )
