Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Bandit output XML format is useful for integration with CI systems.
For working with existing legacy code, starting with baseline is really of help, as one could not expect to initially fix all violations on legacy code.
Therefore, working with baseline is of great help.
But currently the XML report does not work with baseline - running bandit 1.6.2 with xml format and baseline gives
[main] INFO profile include tests: None
[main] INFO profile exclude tests: None
[main] INFO cli include tests: None
[main] INFO cli exclude tests: None
[main] WARNING Baseline must be used with one of the following formats: ['custom', 'html', 'json', 'screen', 'txt']
