run-tests: enable color on Windows

In setting up the CI for Windows on heptapod, I noticed it was complaining about
color not being enabled because pygments wasn't installed- even though it was.
I had initially disabled color on Windows when using Windows 7, because that
didn't understand ANSI color codes and made a mess of the output.  But now that
it's been unsupported for over a year, I don't think we should care about it
either.

It's admittedly a hack to depend on Mercurial proper to enable color support in
the terminal, but I didn't feel like duplicating that code.  I'm under the
impression that 3rd party stuff is supposed to use this runner in the Mercurial
repo instead of using their own copy, so I think it's safe to assume the
Mercurial code is available.  If it's not, it won't break anything.

Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D10760

== New Features ==

 * The amend extension supports the `--currentuser` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--close-branch` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--secret` argument.

 * The uncommit extension supports the `rewrite.update-timestamp` config option.

== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * A shell that supports `$(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now
   required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses
   `sh`, so if that is a shell that doesn't support `$(command)` syntax,
   you can override it by setting `$HGTEST_SHELL` or by passing it to
   `run-tests.py --shell <shell>`.

 * The (experimental) narrow extension's wire protocol changed. If
   you're using it, you'll need to make sure to upgrade server and
   client at the same time.

== Internal API Changes ==
