Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I wish pytask had the same "capture-related" fixtures as pytest, like the ones described here.
In particular I'd like to be able to use the

with capsys.disabled():
    ...

behaviour, in the hope that tqdm progress bars don't break when using the -s flag.

Describe the solution you'd like

I don't know precisely how pytask differs from pytest, but perhaps it would be possible to
just re-use the above mentioned fixtures from pytest?

API breaking implications

Hopefully none, this is just adding fixtures.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None so far ^^'; I can track the progress of my task in other ways so I haven't pursued this very far.

Research direction

Start by reading pytest's capture documentation linked in the issue and comparing its fixtures with pytask's task output handling. Define the smallest fixture behavior needed for disabling capture inside a task, then verify that tqdm progress bars remain usable when running with the -s flag.
