From: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>

Like dmesg, colorize the log output (unless redirected to file).
Timestamp is green, the subsystem is in yellow and the message is red
if urgent, boldface if an error, and normal for info and debug messages.

The default is to not use color since it may disturb automatic tests
and other embedded usage.

Note: add fileno() and isatty() to the Windows wrapper.

+Color output
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The log library will highlight important messages.
+This is controlled by the ``--log-color`` option.
+The optional argument describes when color is enabled:
+
+:never: Do not enable color. This is the default behavior.
+
+:auto: Enable color only when printing to a terminal.
+       This is the same as ``--log-color`` with no argument.

+:always: Always print color.
+
+For example to enable color in logs if using terminal::
+
+	/path/to/app --log-color
+
+.. note::
+
+   Color output is never used for syslog or systemd journal logging.
