This is a further development on @christf's #3367 (feat: allow writing to output file), which handles some edge cases not considered.
Other uses of stdout, such as tests, fuzzers, disassembly, and debug traces, remain directed to stdout; only JSON values are written to the output file. Consequently, users of
--debug-dump-disasmand--debug-tracecan now separate the debug and JSON outputs. On Windows, the output file is marked as binary when--binaryis passed.This incorporates the commit from #3367, but with minor fixes squashed in.
Fixes #2418
Closes #3367
