feat: add --report-chars long option and its corresponding test

[junhaoliao]

closes #14023

This change introduces a long-form CLI option --report-chars as an alternative to the existing
short -r option.

---

Here is a quick checklist that should be present in PRs.

• Include documentation when adding new features.
• Include new tests or update existing tests when applicable.
• Allow maintainers to push and squash when merging my commits. Please uncheck this if you prefer to squash the commits yourself.

If this change fixes an issue, please:

• Add text like closes #XYZW to the PR description and/or commits (where XYZW is the issue number). See the github docs for more information.

Unless your change is trivial or a small documentation fix (e.g., a typo or reword of a small section) please:

• Create a new changelog file in the changelog folder, with a name like <ISSUE NUMBER>.<TYPE>.rst. See changelog/README.rst for details.

  Write sentences in the past or present tense, examples:

  • Improved verbose diff output with sequences.
  • Terminal summary statistics now use multiple colors.

  Also make sure to end the sentence with a ..

• Add yourself to AUTHORS in alphabetical order.

Hi @jakkdl , I tried parameterizing the test case as instructed. Do you mind taking a look again?

[jakkdl]

rewrote the parametrize to be slightly cleaner :)

Looking at --help I'm seeing a small discrepancy where some long options are displayed with a
= before the value and some aren't - but that's not limited to this option.

  --deselect=nodeid_prefix
  --doctest-glob=pat
  --lfnf, --last-failed-no-failures={all,none}

vs

  -r, --report-chars chars
  -c, --config-file FILE

but I don't think it really matters.

I'll merge this in a few days unless somebody pops in and notices something, thank you!

Thanks @junhaoliao for the PR and @jakkdl for merging!

@jakkdl just a note, in the future prefer to squash the commits when they by themselves are not very valuable to keep in the history (for example, "add changelog", "precommit fixes", etc).

Thanks again folks!

frick sorry, not the first time it happened. I used to have a monkeyscript that warned about it but it appears to have gotten disabled at some point.

No worries!
