Allow colored logging output via CPP_LINTER_COLOR env var

verbosity

Describe the behavior you would like

The logs can be rather monotonous when looking for errors.

The cpp-linter python package already has support for using the rich package to add color and style to log outputs. This action only needs to ensure rich is installed if users want colored (and stylized) output in the CI logs.

Proposal

- uses: cpp-linter/cpp-linter-action@v2
  env:
    # enabled colored output in logs (uses `rich` package)
    CPP_LINTER_COLOR: true

Acceptable values that mean "color enabled" include true, on, and 1. By default, color output should be disabled because the ASCII color codes are included in the raw logs that can be downloaded to a text file.

Describe alternatives you have considered

Additional context

The cpp-linter-rs project already includes support for this env variable (see cpp-linter/cpp-linter-rs#52), and it does not require additional dependencies installed. Migrating this new feature to use the rust project should be seamless.
