options.format: lines (output packages line by line)

#1282

@raineorshine I have some problems with TS :(

Anyway, I'm trying.

Is this correct implementation? Can I continue work with tests and readme?

[raineorshine]

This looks like the right approach! You can run npm run build to re-generate the README based on the cli-options.

Let's just have --format lines. That is the most unixy, and can easily be converted into other formats in the shell. npm install -g $(ncu -g --format lines) works as expected.

e.g.

ncu-test-v2@2.0.0
ncu-test-tag@1.1.0

@raineorshine Maybe --format unix? lines is ambiguous as for me.

[raineorshine]

--format unix is ambiguous in its own way, and I don't want to imply that this feature is platform specific and can't be used by Windows users. --format lines describes the output: one update per line, without anything else. The help system can clarify further.

[vanodevium]

OK. I have done my best.

Thanx!
