color: add a 'ui.color' option to control color behavior

This new option control whether or not color will be used. It mirror the behavior
of '--color'. I usually avoid adding new option to '[ui]' as the section is
already filled with many option. However, I feel like 'color' is central enough
to deserves a spot in this '[ui]' section.

For now the option is not documented so it is still marked as experimental. Once
it get documented and official, we should be able to deprecate the color
extensions.

There is more cleanup to do before that documentation is written, but we need
this option early to made them. Having that option will allow for more cleanup
of the initialisation process and proper separation between color
configuration.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
