libcamera: base: log: Add LIBCAMERA_LOG_COLOR env var

Browse Source 
Replace the `LIBCAMERA_NO_LOG_COLOR` env variable with another environment
variable that recognizes the "auto", "yes", "no" values. When set to "auto",
the messages are only colored if the standard error is a tty (as determined
by `isatty()`).

"auto" is the default value. This ensures that the ansi escape codes won't
litter the output if the stderr is redirected to a file, `tee`, etc.

The environment variables ``LIBCAMERA_LOG_FILE``, ``LIBCAMERA_LOG_LEVELS`` and
``LIBCAMERA_LOG_NO_COLOR`` are used to modify the default configuration of the
``LIBCAMERA_LOG_COLOR`` are used to modify the default configuration of the
libcamera logger.
By default, libcamera logs all messages to the standard error (std::cerr).
Messages are colored by default depending on the log level. Coloring can be
disabled by setting the ``LIBCAMERA_LOG_NO_COLOR`` environment variable.
The ``LIBCAMERA_LOG_COLOR`` environment variable can be used to control whether
the messages will be colored or not. The possible values are: ``auto``, ``yes``,
and ``no``. The default value is ``auto``, which enables coloring if the standard
error is connected to a TTY.
The default log destination can also be directed to a file by setting the
``LIBCAMERA_LOG_FILE`` environment variable to the log file name. This also
