Log Parser additional log format

Add support to the Patch My PC Log Parser for an additional generic log format.

Allow the [TAB] character to be the delimiter between the DATE, COMPONENT/TYPE, and MESSAGE field, thus something like

2025-08-08 15:26:42.522<TAB>CoreSettings<TAB>Text before a colon:text after a colon


Based on the example in https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=PatchMyPC.patchmypc-log-parser

2025-08-08 15:26:42.522 [CoreSettings] The settings file is not opened in another

This utilizes <SPACE>[ and ]<SPACE> as a delimiter between the DATE, COMPONENT/TYPE, and MESSAGE fields.

Additionally, a colon (:) may be used to separate the COMPONENT/TYPE, and MESSAGE fields.
