cli: colorize output

[ivotron]

Add colors to output to improve what's being shown on the terminal. For this, we can color the square-bracketed prefix that we print currently. For example, this:

[my action] docker pull foo
[my action] docker create foo...
[my action] docker start.....

would result in having [my action] in color. Same for the --dry-run prefixes being worked as part of #509 .

@ivotron I am stuck on a problem.
I did complete the task somewhat from my side but can't run popper to test the output.
can you please help me with it.
Also Is the gitter channel for the project active as it might be easier to get the doubts cleared over there.

[ivotron]

yes, Gitter works. You can also describe your problem here, either work.
