Plugin stdout not captured as part of stdout during run record

[kuceb]

currently we capture run stdout for recording by intercepting process.stdout.write, however that will only capture the stdout from the parent process, missing the plugins

We should capture stdout from the plugins as well

We likely should spawn plugins with { stdio: 'pipe' } instead of inherit and manually forward the stdout to the parent

The reason this is important - if you console.log output through the plugins/index.js, they will show up in the terminal when you run cypress run, but they will not show up captured later in the Dashboard stdout.

Something like:

plugins/index.js

module.exports = (on) => {
  on('task', {
    logStdOut(...args) {
      console.log(...args);
      return null;
    },
  });
};

Also using plugins that log output would not log the output through the Dashboard like:

The code for this is done in cypress-io/cypress#17293, but has yet to be released.
We'll update this issue and reference the changelog when it's released.
