Add flag 'log-color' preserving color of log redirected to file. (#3538)

Add flag 'log-color' which preserves colors of log when stdout is redirected to a file.

This is my first lighthouse PR, please let me know if I'm not following contribution guidelines, I welcome meta-feeback (feedback on git commit messages, git branch naming, and the contents of the description of this PR.)

## Issue Addressed

Solves https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3527

## Proposed Changes

Adding a flag which enables log color preserving when stdout is redirected to a file.

### Usage
Below I demonstrate current behaviour (without using the new flag) and the new behaviur (when using new flag).

In the screenshot below, I have to panes, one on top running `lighthouse` which redirects to file `~/Desktop/test.log` and one pane in the bottom which runs `tail -f ~/Desktop/test.log`.

#### Current behaviour
```sh
lighthouse --network prater vc |& tee -a ~/Desktop/test.log
```

**Result is no colors**

#### New behaviour
```sh
lighthouse --network prater vc --log-color |& tee -a ~/Desktop/test.log
```

**Result is colors** 🔴🟢🔵🟡

## Additional Info

I chose American spelling of "color" instead of Brittish "colour' since that was aligned with `slog`'s API - method`force_color()`, let me know if you prefer spelling "colour" instead. I also chose to let it be an arg not taking any argument, just like `logfile-compress` flag, rather than having to write `--log-color true`.
