1. raw_ostream supports ANSI colors so that you can write messages to
the termina with colors. Previously, in order to change and reset
color, you had to call `changeColor` and `resetColor` functions,
respectively.
So, if you print out "error: " in red, for example, you had to do
something like this:
OS.changeColor(raw_ostream::RED);
OS << "error: ";
OS.resetColor();
With this patch, you can write the same code as follows:
OS << raw_ostream::RED << "error: " << raw_ostream::RESET;
2. Add a boolean flag to raw_ostream so that you can disable colored
output. If you disable colors, changeColor, operator<<(Color),
resetColor and other color-related functions have no effect.
Most LLVM tools automatically prints out messages using colors, and
you can disable it by passing a flag such as `--disable-colors`.
This new flag makes it easy to write code that works that way.

For lld-link, unknown '/'-style flags are treated as filenames on POSIX
systems, so only '-'-style flags get typo correction for now. This
matches clang-cl.

Previously, that was an alias to -color-diagnostics=auto. However,
Clang's -fcolor-diagnostics is an alias to -fcolor-diagnostics=always,
so that was confusing. This patch fixes that issue.

Previously, some errors that were checked before we set to
Config->ColorDiagnostics weren't colored. This patch moves the code
to set the variable so that such error messages are colored just like
other error messages.

-color-diagnostics=auto is default because that's the same as
Clang's default. When color is enabled, error or warning messages
are colored like this.
error:
<bold>ld.lld</bold> <red>error:</red> foo.o: no such file
warning:
<bold>ld.lld</bold> <magenta>warning:</magenta> foo.o: no such file
