Improve raw_ostream so that you can "write" colors using operator<<

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.
