tshark: add "--color" option emulating wireshark colors
With this commit, tshark will mimic the packet coloring present in the Wireshark GUI whenever "--color" is passed. This initial commit only adds such support for the standard text output format. A future commit could potentially broaden this support to other output modes (such as "-V" mode).
