win32: use native ANSI sequence processing, if possible (#4700)

Windows 10 version 1511 (also known as Anniversary Update), according to
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/console-virtual-terminal-sequences
introduced native support for ANSI sequence processing. This allows
using colors from the entire 24-bit color range.

All we need to do is test whether the console's "virtual processing
support" can be enabled. If it can, we do not even need to start the
`console_thread` to handle ANSI sequences.

Incidentally, this addresses
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/3712.
