Colorized output on windows 7 broken

[ceriath]

When printing output with a TextFormatter to cmd or powershell on windows 7, the control sequences are rendered to the output.

←[36mINFO←[0m[0000] Replay took: 4.0003ms ←[36msource←[0m=Badger

This was already mentioned in #820 but probably never investigated.

Workaround: Just disable colors with

log.SetFormatter(&logrus.TextFormatter{
		DisableColors: true,
})

I do not have any windows test environment, any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated

So i've been investigating a bit and it seems like windows 7 does not support colors on commandlines at all, while windows 10 made it an option (which is off by default) with some update. The easiest solution is probably to just disable it entirely on windows

@ceriath is there a way to detect if coloring is activated or not ?

@dgsb sorry for the late response, totally forgot about it. It seems like you could try and search for a registry key on newer windows, but apparently it's not always there either. so not really a reliable way
