Pull request description:

  Use colors and dots in `test_runner.py` output only if standard output is a terminal -- allows for using the test runner output as input to other programs.

  I found the need for this when parsing `test_runner.py` output while investigating intermittent functional test failures.

  Before:

  ```
  $ test/functional/test_runner.py wallet_hd.py > output 2>&1
  $ less output
  Temporary test directory at /tmp/test_runner_₿_🏃_20190807_074115
  ESC[1mWARNING!ESC[0m There is already a bitcoind process running on this system. Tests may fail unexpectedly due to resource contention!
  Remaining jobs: [wallet_hd.py]

  ```

  After:

  ```
  $ test/functional/test_runner.py wallet_hd.py > output 2>&1
  $ less output
