Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
For automation purposes, one might want to know which apps can be updated. The php occ app:update --showonly command provides this information, but its plaintext output must be parsed manually.
Describe the solution you'd like
The command should provide the --output option, as many other commands do (e.g. for JSON).
Describe alternatives you've considered
Parse unformatted text, but that is unreliable.
