1073552 - Expose a general purpose formatter for formatting test results in the browser ui

Status: NEW

(Testing :: Mochitest, defect)

From bug 1073074. The browser chrome ui output was broken by structured logging, and while the answer would be to reuse the structured formatter to get this output from the raw json log, we aren't exposing this in a way that makes that totally straightforward.

Yup that'd be really nice, there's definitely a lot happening on the testing's UI (and I think we have different UIs between mochitest and mochitest-chrome).

What should we expose to make this easier?

This isn't what we would usually think of as logging, but one option would be to have a way to direct the logger to return the raw json that gets logged and use the structured formatter on that for the ui.
