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

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:

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