Supershell actually works quite well in no color mode. On the sbt side,
we still want to disable supershell automatically if the output is not a
terminal or no color is set, but this commit allows the user to force
supershell through -Dsbt.supershell or the useSuperShell setting even
when no color is set.
With this commit, I improved the padding management so that padding is
now added above the progress report. Whenever a line is logged at the
info or greater level, we can reduce the padding level by one since that
line has effectively filled in the padding.
With the current supershell implementation, the progress display
flickers when there is heavy console logging during task evaluation.
This is because the console appender clears out the task progress and it
isn't restored until the next periodic super shell report (which
runs every 100ms by default). To remove the flickering, I reworked the
implementation to interlace the log lines with progress reports. In
order to ensure that the log lines remained contiguous, I had to apply
padding at the bottom of the supershell region whenever the new report
contained fewer lines than the old report. The report shifts down as new
log lines are appended. This isn't optimal, but I think removing
the flickering while preserving contiguous log lines is worth it.

This moves the super shell rendering to ConsoleAppender with several improvements.
Instead of scrolling up, supershell is now changed to normal scrolling down, with more traditional cursor position. Before printing out the logs, last known progress reports are wiped out. In addition, there's now 5 lines of blank lines to accomodate for `println(...)` by tasks.
This implements a new sbt.color flag that takes always/auto/never/true/false value as a replacement of current sbt.log.format=true/false flag.
When neither flags are set, the default behavior is to enable color when the terminal supports ANSI and it detects an stdout console (as opposed to redirects).

Dotty has its own logic for displaying problems with the proper file
path, position, and caret, but if we store this information in
Problem#message we end up with duplicated information in the output
since Zinc will prepend/append similar things (see
sbt.internal.inc.ProblemStringFormats). So far, we worked around this in
Dotty by using an empty position in the sbt bridge reporter, but this
means that crucial semantic information that could be used by a Build
Server Protocol implementation and other tools is lost. This commit
allows us to avoid by adding an optional `rendered` field to `Problem`:
when this field is set, its value controls what the user sees, otherwise
we fallback to the default behavior (the logic to do this will be added to
Zinc after this PR is merged and a new release of sbt-util is made).
Positions in the Language Server Protocol and Build Server Protocol are
line/column-based instead of offset-based, so this is more convenient.
Computing the line/column from the offset is possible but requires
reading the source file.
A position now has a start, an end, and a point (the existing `offset`),
just like it does in the Scala compiler. This information is especially
useful for displaying squiggly lines in an IDE.

This showed up in profiling. It's known that TypeTags are expensive. Even
more so if the reflect universe is accessed during startup when the
class loading and JIT compiler are busy enough with other stuff.
There are just too many instances in which sbt's code relies on
the `lastModified`/`setLastModified` semantics, so instead of moving
to `get`/`setModifiedTime`, we use new IO calls that offer the new
timestamp precision, but retain the old semantics.
