Add `--color=always` flag for forcing color output #116

Ref: https://github.com/madsflensted/elm-brunch/issues/28#issuecomment-247775995

Currently, elm-make will suppress color coding if it thinks it's not operating in a TTY. Unfortunately, this means that launching elm-make from a build tool like brunch will result in non-color coded output.

According to @niklas, the common way to solve this is to allow a flag like grep --color=always. If we add this to elm-make, that would allow elm-brunch to use that flag and preserve color coding.

Thoughts?

Thanks for the issue! Make sure it satisfies this checklist. My human colleagues will appreciate it!

Here is what to expect next, and if anyone wants to comment, keep these things in mind.
