Review request for kdelibs.


Summary
-------

The existing KDE_COLOR_DEBUG env variable enables colors for output sent to a tty.

This patch introduces a new variable, KDE_COLOR_DEBUG_ANY_FD, which enables colors sent to any file descriptor, not only terminals.

Use case:

I usually start the applications which I develop with &> application.log, and I need a fast way to read the logs and find any kError( colored red ) output quickly.
