FS#311 - Allow disabling coloured output altogether

Reported by DanC

https://outlyer.net/2014-05-18:vcs-1_13_2-released/comment-page-1/#comment-20390:

A great utilty... I’ve been using this for a couple of years now (it runs every night as a cron job).
I’ve been looking at cleaning up the output that cron captures from each of its commands and stores as a system email.
I’ve enabled the -Wc option to prevent coloured output. Mostly this works except near the start of the script when it says:
Settings from /home/danc/.vcs/vcs.conf:
bg_heading
This is still shown in green. Bug?

Currently the colour only stops after the option is found.

One possibility would be to honour the TERM variable when calling tput (i.e. don't fall back if tput is present but it can't print colours).

A pre-release with such modifications can be found at http://p.outlyer.net/vcs/files/pre-RELEASES/vcs-1.13.2-pre.3.bash. (Should actually have been pre.4)

Calling it with env TERM=vt100 vcs -Wc works as expected.
