[Feature Request] Add output file argument to qmk compile

[leah-splitkb]

Feature Request Type

• Core functionality
• Add-on hardware support (eg. audio, RGB, OLED screen, etc.)
• Alteration (enhancement/optimization) of existing feature(s)
• New behavior

Description

Prior to #22221, the command qmk compile -e CONVERT_TO=liatris --keyboard splitkb/kyria/rev3 --keymap default would produce the file splitkb_kyria_rev3_default_liatris.uf2. After #22221, the same command would produce the file splitkb_kyria_rev3_default.uf2.

Although a minor change and easily resolved, this change did break our CI pipeline and as far as I can tell wasn't documented.

It would be neat if there was a way to do qmk compile (..) --output firmware.uf2. This would get rid of the whole "guess what filename QMK is going to use" part, and make it a lot easier to set up reliable CI pipelines.

-e TARGET=(name) will do that

I would also suggest adding --output_dir argument, as well.

#22887 should sort this out by restoring original behaviour.
Renaming or changing the output filename is a bit more of a complex beast.
