vstest.console.exe missing colors when run through some other process

[tx46]

Description

Colors are missing from output when run through, e.g., Gradle.

Steps to reproduce

1. Run any tests with vstest.console.exe through some other process, e.g., Gradle.
2. Look at output.

Expected behavior

Output text is colored.*

*) Actually, it's probably the pipe provided by Gradle that doesn't report color support properly. However, with MSBuild, this can be fixed by using /clp:ForceConsoleColor. See here. I would for something similar to be implemented in vstest.console.

Actual behavior

Output text gets stripped of color.
