Title: Merged in `capistrano_colors` gem, and renamed to 'log_formatters'

I can't imagine why anyone would want to use capistrano without the `capistrano_colors` formatting. We've been adding it to all of our Gemfiles for years now, and I strongly feel that it should be a default feature.

`capistrano_colors` also does more than just colors. It can change the log style (underline, etc.), and can even prepend text or timestamps to the line. That's why I decided to call it 'log_formatters' instead.

I've also prepared a [Log Formatters wiki page](https://github.com/capistrano/capistrano/wiki/Formatting-Logs).

If this gets merged, I will be available to fix any bugs or issues.
