User perspective

You redirect stdout or stderr of ecformat into a file (e.g., with >>) or to another application (e.g., with |), you now get a nicer output. Before the changes from this Pull Request the control characters for coloring were included:

08:00:00 [INFO] check /path/to/repo/ecformat/src/main.rs

And now, you get a clean output in such cases, without losing the colors in the output on the terminal:

08:00:00 [INFO] check /path/to/repo/ecformat/src/main.rs

Developer perspective

The problem was that the simplelog crate does not check for terminal output with its Auto option (see issue). Therefore, ecformat has to check that for itself.
