Can't override output template

First of all thanks for saving me a ton of time with my test debugging, I was really struggling to get logging from my asp.net fixture to appear in the correct place before I started using your tool.

One suggestion is that it would be great to be able to override the outpoutTemplate to include things like the source context. I can see that it could be done by changing the const output template to a property that the user can set, or as a parameter to the constructor of InjectableTestOutputSink. Happy to put in a PR for it, but I'm not sure how it would get published to nuget. Let me know what is the best path forward.

Is there a way to configure this from appsettings.json

Thanks for writing this application, really appreciated, documented very well.

I was wondering, if there is way to configure this from appsettings.json

I have a file "appsettings.Testing.json" for all my testing related settings.

so that my serilog code will read this.
builder.Host.UseSerilog((context, services, configuration) => configuration .ReadFrom.Configuration(context.Configuration) .ReadFrom.Services(services) );

"WriteTo": [ { "Name": "InjectableTestOutputSink", "Args": { "restrictedToMinimumLevel": "Verbose", "outputTemplate": "{Timestamp:yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fff zzz} [{SourceContext}] [{Level}] [InstanceId: {InstanceId}] [ReqId: {RequestId}] [CorrelationId: {CorrelationId}] {Message}{NewLine}{Exception}" } } ],

Thanks.
