Description

For example ee site info should allow output in different formats like yaml,json. This should happen to maintain parity with the other commands like ee site list, ee auth list global

Example:

ee site list --format=table
ee site list --format=json
ee auth list global --format=table
ee auth list global --format=json

Now,

# This works
ee site info example.com
# This doesn't work
ee site info example.com --format=json

Research direction
Review the implementation of `ee site list format=json` to understand how the format flag is parsed and output is formatted. Then apply the same pattern to the `ee site info` command. Look for code that handles output formatting, likely in a shared utility or command specific handler. Ensure to maintain consistency with existing format options (table, json, yaml).
