Subject: [PATCH] kunit: tool: Do not colorize output when redirected

Filling log files with color codes makes diffs and other comparisons
difficult. Only emit vt100 codes when the stdout is a TTY.

Heheh. Indeed! I have some more patches coming where I put a diff of
output in the commit log. ;)

Ah, you can tell a tool has "made it" when people are redirecting its output!

This works fine here.

I'd been thinking about doing this for a while.
I'd just gotten used to removing them via sed, or ending pipes with less -R.
I totally agree it's for the best that colors be turned off by default
when piping.

My hesitation was whether we'd want to introduce a flag like grep et al have.
I.e. --color=auto/always/etc.

Pros:
* consistency with grep, maybe less surprise
* allows wrappers around kunit.py to redirect output and still show color
* this is very niche and I know it. But I happen to own such a wrapper :)

Cons:
* an extra flag that's very niche
* I'm likely the only person to have ever used `kunit.py run | ... | less -R`
* the logic to check for coloring becomes more complicated, need to add a helper

I'm fine if we just stick with this simpler approach or do it later.
My aforementioned wrapper only redirects stdout when necessary anyways.
