Show colors in the output of bref command - #57

When the output is a terminal, `bref command` asks Bref Cloud for colors: Bref Cloud adds `--ansi` to Laravel and Symfony commands, which otherwise never write colors on Lambda (their output is not a terminal there). The output is printed as it was, the terminal renders the colors. When the output is piped or redirected, nothing changes. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Awk33iZ9mDSg1xgSAPkgGK
Creating `Bref\Cli\Application` turns warnings into exceptions, and with the lowest dependencies (Symfony Console 5 on PHP 8.2) loading Symfony's `HelperSet` triggers a deprecation notice that then became a fatal error. The test now sets up `IO` like the application does, and runs the command directly. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Awk33iZ9mDSg1xgSAPkgGK

When its output is a terminal,
bref commandnow asks Bref Cloud for colors (ansi: truewhen starting the command). Bref Cloud then adds--ansito Laravel (artisan) and Symfony (bin/console) commands: on Lambda their output is never a terminal, so without it they never write colors. The output is printed as before, and the terminal renders the colors.--ansi, a command that already sets--ansi/--no-ansiis left alone) is made by Bref Cloud: the CLI only says whether it can show colors, from$output->isDecorated()(soNO_COLOR, pipes and redirections disable it).Tested against Bref Cloud with the server side of this change: under a TTY,
bref command aboutprints Laravel's colors (^[[32;1mEnvironment^[[39;22m ...) and a failing command's error block renders in white on red; piped, the output has no escape codes; the current release shows no colors, as before.Commandnow accepts aBrefCloudClientin its constructor, like the other commands, for the newCommandTest.
