With Django management commands, it is currently possible disable colors
with the `--no-colors` flag.
What I'd like to have is basically the other side of the coin: a `--force-
colors` flag that instructs Django to output ANSI color sequences in cases
it would disable colors by default (typically, when the output is piped to
another command, as documented).
My real world use-case is the following one: I have a custom Django
command to import data. I run this command myself, and I'd like to send a
colored log (HTML seems perfect for this) to the data curators. I can use
the https://github.com/theZiz/aha utility for this, but that doesn't work
since Django disable colors when the output is piped.
Other *nix commands have a special flag for this exact use-case, for
example `$ ls --color=always`
