Description
Following up on the [recent discussion](https://github.com/mandiant/capa/discussions/2417), I suggest adding support for capa to parse the flog.txt file from the `VMRay` sandbox output. Since this file is freely available for download, it would help make capa more accessible to those who can’t get the full ZIP archive. While XML is easier to parse, supporting `flog.txt` would be a great addition.

Research direction
Start with discussion 2417 and the downloadable VMRay flog.txt format. Compare it with capa's existing XML input handling, then determine the parser entry point and expected output. Done means capa can successfully consume a standalone flog.txt sandbox output.
