Restore colorized output

See original GitHub issue

Gradle 3.0 forced us to stop using StyledTextOutput. Sadly (for me, at least) this means that we lose the green/yellow/red highlighting for the short method counts.

We could add them back by using JAnsi and (potentially) bypassing Gradle’s logging system and going directly to stdout.

Questions that need > 0 thought:

Does Gradle redirect stdout? If so, can we rely on their ConsoleOutput enum to know if we’re attached to an ANSI-capable terminal?
Does it matter if we aren’t participating in Gradle’s logging system?
Can we send ANSI-escaped text through Gradle’s logging system? <-- would be awesome

Yeah, can’t figure out how Gradle is conditionally suppressing its ANSI codes when the output is a file… I’m not sure if that is something we care about. You can see what I’ve tried in my branch
