output is wanted by user

It will be nice if `manage.py` could understand --colour/--color options
like grep do for example (i.e always / never / guess).
=== Rationale ===
1. It may be still reasonable to force `manage.py` to output colour escape
sequences even when output is not send to a `tty` (now escape sequences
for colour are supresed in this case). For example, this may happen when
its output is redirected to `less -R` or `tail`.
2. Even when switching colours off may be achieved now by setting
DJANGO_COLORS=nocolor environment variable (or to any palette name not
known to `django.utils.termcolors`), it is not obvious way to achieve this
and it is not always as easy to set / change environment variable as it is
to run command with additional option.
3. See also #17221 for additional rationale as this enhancement may
provide temporary workaround for it.
