Research direction

Start with the docker scout cves --format <format> command and inspect how a single requested report format is selected. Define completion as one CVE scan producing stdout, SARIF, and markdown reports together without three separate runs; no specific files or tests are mentioned in the issue.

Description

enhancement

I'd like to create stdout, SARIF and markdown reports in the same CVE scan - currently if I want all three formats, I have to run docker scout cves --format <format> three separate times.

Having all the formats created in the same run would greatly improve the efficiency of that workflow.
