Add Configurable Log Formatting Options for Supervisor

Fixes #553 - This PR implements highly requested log formatting configuration options for Supervisor, addressing community feedback.

What's New

Two new configuration options:

• logfile_format - Customizes main supervisord log messages
• childlog_format - Customizes child process log messages (stdout/stderr)

Both support Python logging format strings with placeholders like %(asctime)s, %(levelname)s, %(process)d, etc.

Example Usage

[supervisord]
logfile_format=%(asctime)s [%(levelname)s] [PID:%(process)d] %(message)s
childlog_format=%(asctime)s [CHILD] %(message)s

Output:

# Main log
2024-01-15 10:30:15,123 [INFO] [PID:1234] supervisord started with pid 1234

# Child logs
2024-01-15 10:30:16,456 [CHILD] Starting application server

Key Features

backward compatible - existing configs work unchanged
error handling - invalid formats fall back to defaults
tests - all existing tests pass + new coverage
documentation - examples, best practices, troubleshooting

Benefits

• Enhanced debugging with timestamps and PIDs
• Better integration with log aggregation systems (ELK, Splunk, etc.)
• Support for compliance logging requirements
• Customizable formats for specific operational needs

This addresses a long-standing community request for better control over Supervisor's logging output while maintaining full compatibility.

This is excellent! Hope it gets merged soon. That "failing" test doesn't seem to be related to this PR, but rather an issue with the CI system itself.

The PR is ready to merge now, but I don't have merge access. I'll appreciate it if some can review and merge it.

[noahgorstein]
