Add --console and --quiet options to rebot, mirroring the mechanism from robot (PR robotframework#5671). Supports built-in consoles (verbose, quiet, none) and custom console loggers via dotted path or module name. The programmatic API also accepts console objects directly. Also fix pythonpath ordering in Rebot.main() so custom console modules on --pythonpath can be imported (matching robot's behavior).
Dotted console is meaningless for Rebot since there is no test execution progress to display. Raise a clear DataError instead of silently creating a DottedOutput that behaves like verbose.
Test that rebot() accepts a console object via the programmatic API, mirroring the existing TestCustomConsole tests for run().

I took a quick look and the PR looks great. I'll take another look with a bit fresher eyes later, but it may take few days before I have time for that. See separate comments for things I noticed now.
