Allow JSON log formatter

[ramonsmits]

Describe the feature.

The console log output isn't ideal as many log entries are multi-line and cannot easily be ingested and keep context.

Describe the requested feature

Microsoft.Extensions.Logging also allows enabling the JSON formatter:

• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.extensions.logging.consoleloggerextensions.addjsonconsole?view=net-8.0

JSON formatter allows for a structured format that is supported by many (cloud) environments.

Additional Context

Required on the forum at https://discuss.particular.net/t/servicecontrol-on-linux-containers-early-access-questions/4000/12?u=ramonsmits

any thought to enabling the option to output the logs as structured json format? this would make the logs easier to consume in cloud-based environments

[ramonsmits]

Enabling JSON output is low-effort to add but these log entries but as ServiceControl logging and more important NServiceBus and transport packages not yet use semantic logging log output isn't yet optimal until the following is also done:

• Obsolete NServiceBus.Logging in favor of Microsoft.Extensions.Logging NServiceBus#7038

Still, already enabling JSON output definitely will help many users without it.
