Correct the --outputs parameter examples to show comma-separated values instead of space-separated, which doesn't work in all environments. The parameter supports comma-separated format aliases or multiple flags.

Summary

The documentation for the --outputs parameter incorrectly showed space-separated values (e.g., --outputs json csv html) which doesn't work in all environments. This PR updates all examples to use the correct comma-separated syntax (e.g., --outputs json,csv,html) or multiple flags approach, ensuring users can successfully generate multiple output formats.

Details

Updated "Specifying Output Formats" section in docs/guides/outputs.md to clarify correct syntax

Test Plan

Verify the examples work in different environments:
Direct CLI: guidellm benchmark --outputs "json,csv,html" ...
Multiple flags: guidellm benchmark --outputs json --outputs csv --outputs html ...
Docker/Podman with env vars: -e GUIDELLM_OUTPUTS="json,csv,html"
Confirm all three output files (JSON, CSV, HTML) are generated in the output directory

Apologies - this should be fixed now.
