dispatch: setup color before pager for correct console information on windows

Before this patch, "hg CMD --pager on" on Windows shows output
unintentionally decorated with ANSI color escape sequences, if color
mode is "auto". This issue occurs in steps below.

  1. dispatch() invokes ui.pager() at detection of "--pager on"
  2. stdout of hg process is redirected into stdin of pager process
  3. "ui.formatted" = True, because isatty(stdout) is so before (2)
  4. color module is loaded for colorization
  5. color.w32effects = None, because GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo()
     fails on stdout redirected at (2)
  6. "ansi" color mode is chosen, because of "not w32effects"
  7. output is colorized in "ansi" mode because of "ui.formatted" = True

Even if "ansi" color mode is chosen, ordinarily redirected stdout
makes ui.formatted() return False, and colorization is avoided. But in
this issue case, "ui.formatted" = True at (3) forces output to be
colorized.

For correct console information on win32, it is needed to ensure that
color module is loaded before redirection of stdout for pagination.

BTW, if any of enabled extensions has "colortable" attribute, this
issue is avoided even before this patch, because color module is
imported as a part of loading such extension, and extension loading
occurs before setting up pager. For example, mq and keyword have
"colortable".
