Allow custom --help output
It could be useful give a way to the users to customize the UX for the --help command. We already allow to have
- custom banner
- custom output device

@MarcoRossignoli I didn't know we could do a custom banner. Is there docs on that?
@thomhurst please look at https://github.com/microsoft/testfx/blob/main/docs/testingplatform/ibannermessageownercapability.md and here is the PR where we use this custom feature on MSTest: https://github.com/microsoft/testfx/pull/3235
FWIW, I don't think xUnit.net would use this.
One of the things that I think sells people on enabling Microsoft Testing Platform command line UX for xUnit.net v3 projects is that it will now behave similarly to other MTP-enabled test frameworks. I don't think people choose a test framework based on the --help output. 😉
I do think that you need to make sure all the information about every command line switch is available to whoever implements this, since they'll need to be able to show command line switches for any installed extensions. The documentation (right now) doesn't discuss this, so the sample should probably make it clear exactly how developers are expected to correctly implement this in the face of installed extensions.
@bradwilson oh thanks for the comment! The customization was done for you as in past you were discussing the "need" to change the output but if you are not going to use it then I'll just go ahead and close this.
