When running unit tests we don't want output to go to the terminal.
Provide a way of collecting it so that it can be examined by test code
later.

It seems that doctest behaves differently now, and some of the unit tests
do not run. Adjust the tests to work correctly.
./tools/patman/patman --test
<unittest.result.TestResult run=10 errors=0 failures=0>

Rather than the rather dull colours, use bright versions which normally
look better and are easier to read.

It is easy to detect whether or not the process is connected to a terminal,
or piped to a file. Disable ANSI colours automatically when output is
not to a terminal.

What is this?
=============
This tool is a Python script which:
- Creates patch directly from your branch
- Cleans them up by removing unwanted tags
- Inserts a cover letter with change lists
- Runs the patches through checkpatch.pl and its own checks
- Optionally emails them out to selected people
It is intended to automate patch creation and make it a less
error-prone process. It is useful for U-Boot and Linux work so far,
since it uses the checkpatch.pl script.
It is configured almost entirely by tags it finds in your commits.
This means that you can work on a number of different branches at
once, and keep the settings with each branch rather than having to
git format-patch, git send-email, etc. with the correct parameters
each time. So for example if you put:
in one of your commits, the series will be sent there.
See the README file for full details.
