Summary:                    [patch] [regression] Colourized logging option
request as an option
Description: 
I noticed that recently there was a patch submitted to remove colorized
escape sequences from log files,
https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=16786

The decision was made to not offer this as an option, however, I find it
incredibly useful when debugging certain features to retain color codes in
the log files to read it easier.  This being suddenly gone, could be
considered a regression.

On IRC, Naikrovek mentioned that a recent discovery was made correlating
writing color codes to log files with CPU spikes.  Of course, if this is
infact the case, it should not be added as an option until the CPU spike is
solved (if it is possible to be solved, of course)

But, on the grounds that it was once an available feature, that I welcomed
and took advantage of for debugging purposes, I would like to see it
re-introduced as a configurable option.
