Force color diagnostics when applicable Although GCC and Clang automatically generate color diagnostics on terminal output, they do not do so when the compiler output is piped through another process, like in the case for ninja-build and ccache. Similarly, it would also be nice to be able to see the color diagnostics on the CI build log in the web interface provided by the CI providers.
