Make geo:status output more explicit

Release notes

Problem to solve

The current geo:status output is using color(:red) to indicate that a 3rd count of failed items is prepended before checked/synced_count.

However, coloring does not carry over when customers copy-paste or attach output to support.

• Also, our example in the docs does not show a line with all 3 possible values. ZD 267086 contains examples at Verified Repositories: and further below.

Proposal

A more explicit listing or output option like

• failed: …, synced: …, total:…
• a table (markdown or Postgres-like)
• --format=json

or something similar would help Support, as well as customers who may want to parse the output for internal trouble-shooting.
