Currently, command specs output is implemented with systems print or various kamaki.cli.utils printing methods.

It is requested to modify command specs so that they will output to a stream defined at initialization level.

This will require a careful review of every single command spec that prints out something, to spot the points where a printing method should be replaced.

Rational: Generaly, it is a good idea to customize your output mechanism at a single point. On top of that, there are 2 good arguments in favour of this feature.

(a) Allows the implementation of various user interfaces on top of kamaki command specs, e.g. GUIs or web interfaces. New UIs can use the command tree structure that offers loading, resolving namespaces, help and description for each command set.

(b) Allows the implementation of automatic testing mechanisms, by defining fitting input/output streams and use them to match outputs in (input / expected output) scenarios
