[feature request] Support more structured logging from the browser

Is #console_messages available on the Browser object what you're looking for?

That does look promising, thank you! Can you point me towards the documentation I missed so I can find this kind of thing without bothering you next time?

From some experimentation:

• #console_messages returns an array of OpenStructs with the keys [:type, :message, :source, :line_number, :columnNumber]. It's unfortunate the difference in naming style for rows and columns.

• type appears to follow the console standard for levels — log, info, warn, error

• The output from browser_logger still occurs when console_messages is used. Setting browser_logger to nil disables console_messages as well (it's always empty). Instead, I used File.open(File::NULL, "w").

• It would be nice to be able to act as more of a filter. Right now, I effectively suppress all messages during the test run, then print them out as a batch at the end. This removes the ability to see how they mix with other prints (such as those in my tests)
