perf annotate: Introduce --stdio-color to setup the color output mode selection
'perf annotate --stdio' will colorize entries with most hits and possibly some other aspects of its output, but those colors gets suppressed if we redirect the output to a non-tty, allow keeping the colors by adding a new option, --stdio-color, now this use case will also output escape sequences for colors: $ perf annotate --stdio-color | more Based-on-a-patch-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-sjrnixani5pg6qez640gaxhf@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
