Colored terminal output via ANSI escapes

[Marrub]

Because ANSI escapes have 24-bit color, it would be possible to add text color support to stdout for non-Windows targets by using these.

It would perhaps also be nice to have a CVar, so one could change the behaviour to use quantized 8-bit color instead of truecolor, use quantized 4-bit color, or disable it entirely. This is of course just an idea, not really a required feature.

It might be terribly amusing to have stdout also output the ENDOOM graphic, if the game is already being run from terminal.

I would love this very much for doing work on my linux machine, since the uncolored terminal does get a little raw to look at after a while.

This is rather easy since ENDOOMs use the same graphics capabilities as old ANSI codes. Even blinking text can be used! Though it should certainly be an option. And furthermore this is a bit outside the scope of this request
