Description

In ErrorHandler.cpp error messages are printed with color control sequences, this may cause issues when interacting with other systems, e.g., catch2. Add an option to disable colored output for users of daphne that do not want to have that.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate where color control sequences are used in ErrorHandler.cpp. Add a command line option to disable them. Modify the error handling logic to check the flag before printing colors.
