Custom delimiter for CSV / SSV outputs

[pedrooot]

New feature motivation

Currently Prowler generates the CSV outputs using ; as delimiter. The CSV RFC specifies that the delimiter should be ,. The goal is to make a customizable delimiter for this output.

Solution Proposed

Have a custom separator for the CSV output or create a new output type called SSV which has ; as native separator and use , on the CSV output.

Describe alternatives you've considered

If you have any trouble when opening a CSV file output from Prowler in LibreOffice or Excel we recommend you to follow these steps:

Hey @pedrooot

Is this issue still open? If so, can I work on it?

Hey @abant07 I think that it's better if you start with #4703
The fix for this issue should be evaluated by the team.
Thanks for helping!
