[Qt-creator] About ANSI color support for Qt-creator output panel

[Henry Skoglund]

Hi, it works fine when output from the compiler, for example if you have 
a Visual Studio-flavored Qt Creator you can stuff #pragma message lines 
in your code, like this:
#pragma message("\x1b[38;5;82mHello")
#pragma message("\x1b[38;5;198mWorld")
