Support less fancy terminals

See original GitHub issue

The new bankai has pretty fancy terminal logging! But not everyone runs it in a terminal that supports all these fancy features. For example, term-mode in Emacs really dislikes the fact that bankai takes over the terminal. Also, if you’re using bankai on the server side, it can get in the way of your server logging. While I think we should keep these features, I think there should be a configuration option for basic logging (like the old bankai logging) that works on simpler terminals.

We could by default make the decision to use basic or fancy logging based on the TERM environment variable.

Well, I have something kinda working that might help this… I hacked together a version of ui.js that will log to stdout instead.

simple-logs

This allows bankai to be used programmatically without it blowing away existing sever logs 😃 It would be nice to detect tty but also enable this under a flag… but I’m not certain.

@yoshuawuyts any other thoughts on this?
