Missing handling of new output formats

[per1234]

Bug Report

Current behavior

Some output is not printed in the format specified by the user when they use the new jsonmini or yaml options (#1586, #1600) with the --format flag.

This misformatted output breaks machine readability.

For example:

The code here does not handle the new formats:

arduino-cli/cli/output/rpc_progress.go

Line 36 in 530e671

if OutputFormat != "json" {

Expected behavior

All output is printed in the specified format.

---

A single centralized function is used to determine when output is set to a machine readable format instead of the current jumble of "magic strings" scattered throughout the codebase, which handle only "json".

Environment
