Add color to the default thread and frame format.

Summary

Now that we correctly ignore ASCII escape sequences when colors are disabled (rL362240), I'd like to change the the default frame and thread format to include color in their output, in line with the syntax highlighting that Raphael added a while ago. More specifically, I want to highlight the stop reason and the file + line/column number. With colors disabled, this of course is a no-op.

Please see the following screenshot for example output: https://i.imgur.com/KRZhxSz.png

+1. I'm (obviously) in favor of this.

Let the bike-shedding begin!
Feel free to ignore this, but personally, I'd only highlight the filename (or highlight the the line number in a different color).
Feel free to ignore this even more, but we should probably have symbolic color names instead of hardcoding red and such, for users with black-on-white vs. white-on-black (or green-on-black) terminals.

Adrian's feedback

Attaching my versions in case you like anything that I did:

settings set frame-format frame #${frame.index}: ${ansi.fg.yellow}${frame.pc}${ansi.normal}{ ${ansi.bold}${ansi.underline}${ansi.fg.cyan}${module.file.basename}${ansi.normal}${ansi.fg.cyan} ${function.name-with-args}{${function.pc-offset}}${ansi.normal}}{ ${ansi.fg.purple}at ${ansi.bold}${ansi.fg.purple}${line.file.basename}:${line.number}}${ansi.normal}\n
settings set thread-format thread #${thread.index}: ${ansi.bold}${ansi.fg.yellow}tid${ansi.normal}${ansi.fg.yellow} = ${thread.id}${ansi.normal}{, ${ansi.fg.yellow}${frame.pc}${ansi.normal}}{ ${ansi.bold}${ansi.underline}${ansi.fg.cyan}${module.file.basename}${ansi.normal}${ansi.fg.cyan} ${function.name-with-args}{${function.pc-offset}}${ansi.normal}}{, ${ansi.bold}${ansi.fg.purple}stop reason${ansi.normal}${ansi.fg.purple} = ${thread.stop-reason}${ansi.normal}}{, ${ansi.bold}${ansi.fg.cyan}name = ${ansi.normal}${ansi.fg.cyan}${thread.name}${ansi.normal}}{, ${ansi.bold}${ansi.fg.green}queue = ${ansi.normal}${ansi.fg.green}${thread.queue}${ansi.normal}}\n{Return value: ${thread.return-value}}

Sorry, I got more comments :-)

Thanks, but I was thinking more about something that could be replaced dynamically to support dark and light terminals in the same LLDB binary. Int hits form, this probably doesn't add much because ...

... because we probably want a macro for the entire "stop reason" string, not just its colors ...

... and use it here, too.

Match dwarfdump color scheme

As discussed offline, I think it's better to have fixed colors (but not things like black and white) and let the user's color scheme deal with their interpretation.

Can you add a screenshot of the final result for everybody?
