No console output option for findbugs plugin

Please expose a console output option for the findblugs plugin to build.gradle files, so that users of gradle check can see the linter warnings right in the console, just like Checkstyle, PMD, and other popular linters.

This option has been missed for a long time, ref. Findbugs text report doesn't work and https://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-2994

This is actually my primary reason for not switching to Gradle, and I won’t until it’s fixed. For a CI environment (esp saas running ephemeral dockers) outputting to the console for failures is a must.
