(Frosting) Add ANSI console

We need to add an ANSI implementation of IConsole to properly display colors when running dotnet cake.

@clmcgrath yes this could be an assembly or in your build “app”, register the type you want to replace.

   public void Configure(ICakeServices services)
    {
        services.RegisterInstance<IConsole>(new TestConsole());
        services.UseContext<Context>();
        services.UseLifetime<Lifetime>();
        services.UseWorkingDirectory("..");
    }

A simple console “proxy” example could look like this

    public class TestConsole : IConsole
    {

        public TestConsole()
        {
        }

        public ConsoleColor ForegroundColor
        { 
            get => Console.ForegroundColor;
            set => Console.ForegroundColor = value;
        }

        public ConsoleColor BackgroundColor
        { 
            get => Console.BackgroundColor;
            set => Console.BackgroundColor = value;
        }

        public void Write(string format, params object[] arg)
            => Console.Write(format, arg);

        public void WriteError(string format, params object[] arg)
            => Console.Error.Write(format, arg);

        public void WriteErrorLine(string format, params object[] arg)
            => Console.Error.WriteLine(format, arg);

        public void WriteLine(string format, params object[] arg)
            => Console.WriteLine(format, arg);

        public void ResetColor()
            => Console.ResetColor();
    }

To be able to use raw ansi codes you would need to use something like

Console.OpenStandardOutput();
var con = new StreamWriter(stdout, Encoding.UTF8);
Console.SetOut(con);

Console.WriteLine("\x1b[36mTEST\x1b[0m");
