Add option (-o/--output-file) to write output to a file (#4950)

## Summary

A new CLI option (`-o`/`--output-file`) to write output to a file
instead of stdout.

Major change is to remove the lock acquired on stdout. The argument is
that the output is buffered and thus the lock is acquired only when
writing a block (8kb). As per the benchmark below there is a slight
performance penalty.

## Benchmarks

_Output is truncated to only contain useful information:_

Command: `check --isolated --no-cache --select=ALL --show-source
./test-repos/cpython"`

Latest HEAD (361d45f2b2) with and without
the manual lock on stdout:

```console
Benchmark 1: With lock
  Time (mean ± σ):      5.687 s ±  0.075 s    [User: 17.110 s, System: 0.486 s]
  Range (min … max):    5.615 s …  5.860 s    10 runs

Benchmark 2: Without lock
  Time (mean ± σ):      5.719 s ±  0.064 s    [User: 17.095 s, System: 0.491 s]
  Range (min … max):    5.640 s …  5.865 s    10 runs

Summary
  (1) ran 1.01 ± 0.02 times faster than (2)
```

  Range (min … max):    5.786 s …  5.987 s    10 runs
 
Benchmark 2: Latest HEAD with lock
  Time (mean ± σ):      5.645 s ±  0.033 s    [User: 16.922 s, System: 0.495 s]
  Range (min … max):    5.600 s …  5.712 s    10 runs
 
Summary
  (2) ran 1.04 ± 0.01 times faster than (1)
```

## Test Plan

Run all of the commands which gives output with and without the
`--output-file=ruff.out` option:
* `--show-settings`
* `--show-files`
* `--show-fixes`
* `--diff`
* `--select=ALL`
* `--select=All --show-source`
* `--watch` (only stdout allowed)
