Add a `ColoredHelpFormatter` argparse formatter class that colors the command line arguments of mypy CLI help. The formatter uses the existing `FancyFormatter` for the coloring itself and the detection of the terminal. It is added to the following commands: * `mypy` * `stubgen` * `stubtest` * `dmypy` and its subcommands The output has been tested locally with all the commands above as well as with `mypy.api.run` to ensure that the proper stdout and stderr are passed and colors are disabled.
