Reimplement as a DLL with a console app front end?

[JayAtFujifilm]

To make the CycloneDX CLI tool more flexible, it could be refactored in a DLL with an optional console app front end. That way it could be used directly in a .Net application without having to launch an external process. This is turn would facilitate easier error-handling (as exceptions would be passed to the calling logic) and logging.

I realize that it would no longer strictly be a CLI tool, but it would provide flexibility for the tool to be used in other ways.

@JayAtFujifilm Note that the CLI is based on https://github.com/CycloneDX/cyclonedx-dotnet-library. Would this be sufficient for your use case, or do actually need access to the higher level layer, like the commands?
