[PATCH] checkkconfigsymbols.py: add --no-color option

[Andrew Donnellan]

Add a new option, --no-color, to get rid of ANSI colour escape codes in the
output. Useful if redirecting output to a file or piping to another script.

(It should really be --no-colour, but I'll accept US spelling in the name
of consistency with existing usage in the code comments...)
