Add a generic `NewColorable()` constructor

The generic constructor accepts any `os.File` pointer. This is useful
when this library is used to support a generic colorable writer stream
whose destination (stdout, stderr, log file, etc.) is determined
dynamically at runtime.

go-colorable

Colorable writer for windows.

For example, most of logger packages doesn‘t show colors on windows. (I know we can do it with ansicon. But I don’t want.) This package is possible to handle escape sequence for ansi color on windows.

Too Bad!

So Good!

Usage

logrus.SetFormatter(&logrus.TextFormatter{ForceColors: true})
logrus.SetOutput(colorable.NewColorableStdout())

logrus.Info("succeeded")
logrus.Warn("not correct")
logrus.Error("something error")
logrus.Fatal("panic")

You can compile above code on non-windows OSs.
