Research direction

Start by reading the related issue #5 and the anstyle-stream component named here. Determine how terminal color support is detected and what graceful adaptation from truecolor to Ansi256 or Ansi16 should mean; the work is done when the behavior and API are defined and covered by appropriate tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

A-stream C-enhancement

This was split out of #5.

What if anstyle-stream provided a way to use trucolor and have it automatically adapted to Ansi256 or Ansi16, depending on what the terminal supports?
