[idea] support for ANSI "color" escape sequences

[rsynnest]

Great tool! I have a non-critical feature request: It would be nice if up supported color codes such as those output by grep --color=always.
Thanks!

Ah, you mean if grep --color=always is entered as a command in up? It never occurred to me, but that's a good idea indeed! Though I'm not quite sure how it could be handled in tcell...

Yes this would be very cool. E.g. if you do cat file | up then | ack bob it would highlight all matches. Or keep colors of jq or color coded syntax highlighting when searching.

Anyways it's still an amazing tool!!

@lordlycastle https://github.com/paoloantinori/hhighlighter highlights multiple strings, invaluable sometimes.

filtering files looks sad without colors
