Ansible-playbooks now in full technicolor

@jp_mens pushed some very nice additions this morning to colorize parts of playbooks. Failure counts in red, success in green, changes in yellow.

I've taken this a bit further and applied this to the rest of ansible playbook output. Job status messages for async show up in blue.

Let me know if you have any issues with the tty detection NOT working or anything else, and if you really don't like it, set ANSIBLE_NOCOLOR=1

As with past releases, it works especially well if cowsay is installed.

Got this from a fresh git clone:

Fix pushed.

I’ve made some updates to change ‘black’ to the default color, as well as change the darker blue to cyan, so if you were using a black terminal and secretly cursing my name, it looks pretty decent now, and you might like it. Not entirely happy with yellow-on-white

Apologies to Kenny Wayne Shepherd for the commit message:

Could probably change the red to “bright red” if that would make it easier to see.
