Add support to hide metadata in log line

 - `--hideObject` (`-H`): Hide objects from output (but not error object)
 - `--singleLine` (`-S`): Print each log message on a single line (errors will still be multi-line)
 - `--config`: Specify a path to a config file containing the pino-pretty options.  pino-pretty will attempt to read from a `.pino-prettyrc` in your current directory (`process.cwd`) if not specified
+- `--hideMetadata` (`-M`): Hide Metadata (e.g. `timestamp` and `level`) in the beginning of each log line
