color: support a different color mode when the pager is active
MSYS on Windows has a terminal that supports the "win32" color mode
(which "auto" properly detects for us). However, a popularily configured
pager in that environment (GNU less) only supports the "ansi" color
mode.
This patch teaches color about a new config option: pagermode. It
behaves like "mode" but is only consulted when the pager is active for
the current command. MSYS users can now set "pagermode = ansi" and get a
colorful experience that just works. Previously, MSYS users would have
to live without color when using GNU less as the pager, would have to
manually configure the pager to attend every command, or would have
gibberish if "ansi" was used without the pager.

pager: ensure wrapped dispatch._runcommand runs before color's
An upcoming patch will teach color to potentially act differently if the
pager is active. Since both extensions wrap the same function
(dispatch._runcommand) to change behavior, we must guarantee that
pager's wrapped function runs before color's so color may read the
breadcrumb left by pager.

pager: set an attribute on ui indicating that a pager is active
A subsequent patch will teach the color extension to do different things
depending on whether a pager is active. This patch leaves a breadcrumb
on the ui instance to allow it do that that.
