tests: conditionalize color output on abort This broke in afc4ad706f9c. I'm not sure why other aborts don't need to be conditionalized, but `hg help foo` does abort in red for both msys and cmd.exe.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
