[PATCH/RFC] test-lib: add support for colors without tput

For platforms that does not have tput we can still perform coloring by manually emitting the ANSI control codes. If tput is missing from $PATH, install a replacement function.

The exact strings has been dumped from a machine that has tput, by piping the output of tput through 'od -c -An'.

I got slightly annoyed that we didn't get colored output from the tests on Windows, so I decided to fix it.

Hopefully other platforms can benefit from this as well.

I'm not super happy with the condition to enable it. I considered an environment variable as well, but decided against it because "make -C t" from the root does not seem to pick up environment variables configured in the main Makefile.

Thoughts?
