Un-Bold/-Dim completely absent from ANSI escape codes

[Qix-]

It appears [21m and [22m are completely absent from the list of supported render mode escapes in the new VT-like functionality Windows supports.

You have [24m and [27m, but no way to reset bold at all. This needs to be fixed because it's breaking a ton of people trying to run Node.js without LibUV's Windows TTY fallback, and I'm sure it'll break a much larger crowd as adoption rises.

Thank you @zadjii-msft, I appreciate that. Any estimate on ETA? I'd rather not have to write a workaround for chalk if I can have downstreamers hold off for a while longer.

@qix I'd say it's probably not a very high priority to get into this release unfortunately. I can add it to my bug backlog, but I'd say it's not likely :/

@therealkenc That's unrelated.

[zadjii-msft]

I just submitted the fix for this :)

... well okay, I submitted the fix for UnBold. Double underline would require a lot more work to support, and that won't make the cut for Fall Creator's Update. But UnBold should be out to insiders in the next few weeks.

@zadjii-msft Thank you <3 I know a lot of people will appreciate this.

@Qix- @zadjii-msft Thank you! I'm very happy to see the issue I opened back in March has seemed to take on a life of its own which ultimately made its way back to Microsoft for a fix. I really appreciate your efforts! Truly!

@zadjii-msft Hey! Just checking in - has this been released? :)

[zadjii-msft]

@Qix- I'm pretty sure it's in Fall Creator's Update, yea.
