Details

Currently people need to add lines like > export CFLAGS="-fcolor-diagnostics" > export CXXFLAGS="-fcolor-diagnostics" > mk_add_options CARGOFLAGS="--color always" to their .mozconfig to get color output. I think they should be enabled by default when mach is run in a terminal supports color.
With bug 1315785 in place, this should be trivial to accomplish once bug 1171610 lands colorization detection to configure.
