I believe increasing the buffer size is a good idea. Would it be better to expose an Environment Variable to allow users to customize it?

pr-type/bug-fix,pr-type/feature-development, etc.Summary
This PR increases the scanner buffer size from the default 64KB to 5MB in the IPC process utility (
backend/core/utils/ipc.go). This fixes an issue where large outputs from subprocesses would be truncated when exceeding the 64KB buffer limit.Changes:
scanOutputPipe()function to set buffer size to 5MBscanErrorPipe()function to set buffer size to 5MBThis allows DevLake to properly handle large outputs from subprocess calls, particularly important for plugins that process large data payloads.
Does this close any open issues?
