`WindowsDriver` is broken on `conhost`

See original GitHub issue

RGB works in conhost, so I’m not quite sure why this is not working:

In v2 true color is now the default. To fix this we need to either:

Figure out why emitting the ANSI ESC sequences is not working on conhost
Add code to test for 24 bit color in the terminal using the method described here: https://github.com/termstandard/colors
FIgure out how to reliably detect we’re not in Windows Terminal and switch to Force16Color = true.

Note that testing for the WT_SESSION is NOT reliable as I thought.

Mouse has never worked right on conemu. I gave up trying to figure it out.

Virtual Terminal Sequences, the new windows API that supports true color is really just a fancy name for ansi esc sequences.

I know that, but did you already realize that was what I implemented in the NetDriver to Windows have support for ansi esc sequences, but is very slow on Windows with the conhost, mainly with mouse events.
