Use of testLogger.showStandardStreams can lead to confusion

Hello there,

Thank you very much for this nice plugin! We really need user-friendly tools like yours in the Java community!

I was looking for a way to enable printing of stdout/stderr of my tests, and everywhere I googled I was pointed at gradle Test task's testLogging.showStandardStreams option.

But because I use gradle-test-logger-plugin, this wasn't working. After some time it dawned on me that the issue may come from the plugin, and I was able to confirm this and then go into the documentation and see that with this plugin, one should actually use testLogger.showStandardStreams instead.

Since this is a bit confusing, I would like to suggest that support for reading from testLogging.showStandardStreams also be added. I believe that would a lot more predictable for people with existing test configurations, and hopefully no other users would lose a few minutes banging their heads against this small issue.

Thanks for your time! 🙏

This is a great idea, thanks for the feedback.

I'll see if I can derive any other values based on the configuration of testLogging.

This is dependent on #90 as testLogging.showStandardStreams can be virtually configured for any task of type Test and it wouldn't be right to change the global testlogger configuration based on the value of any individual test task configuration.

Thank you for the awesome fix! 👍
