color: fix crash in cmd.exe

When 'term' is None because it isn't in the environment, don't iterate over it.
Unfortunately, unsetting $TERM or exporting it as '' doesn't work in the tests,
so there's no way to simulate cmd.exe in the test suite.

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.
