jpirnay 0c2df24f5c feat: Extend python debugging monitor functionality (keyword filter / suppress) (#810)
## Summary

* I needed the ability to filter and or suppress debug messages
containig certain keywords (eg [GFX] for render related stuff)
* Update of debugging_monitor.py script for development work

## Additional Context
```
usage: debugging_monitor.py [-h] [--baud BAUD] [--filter FILTER] [--suppress SUPPRESS] [port]

ESP32 Monitor with Graph

positional arguments:
  port                 Serial port

options:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  --baud BAUD          Baud rate
  --filter FILTER      Only display lines containing this keyword (case-insensitive)
  --suppress SUPPRESS  Suppress lines containing this keyword (case-insensitive)
```
* plus a couple of platform specific defaults (port, pip style)

ESP32 Serial Monitor with Memory Graph
This script provides a real-time serial monitor for ESP32 devices with
integrated memory usage graphing capabilities. It reads serial output,
parses memory information, and displays it in both console and graphical form.
