Summary:                    Add color to Ninja output like with
CMAKE_COLOR_MAKEFILE
Description: 
With CMAKE_COLOR_MAKEFILE (default to ON) CMake creates target descriptions with
colors.
This is great for human readability.

However, with the Ninja generator there is no such option, and CMake doesn't
emit any color: the output is much harder to read by a human.

Would it be possible to add a CMAKE_COLOR_NINJA equivalent to
CMAKE_COLOR_MAKEFILE, but for the Ninja generator?
