Add ability to display high intensity ANSI colors in debug console #21423

@indiejames

Description

@indiejames

The debug console honors ANSI color codes embedded in strings, but it treats high intensity color codes the same as low intensity, i.e., dark colors. It would be useful if the high intensity color codes generated the high intensity colors. I realize that using ANSI color codes in the debug console is an undocumented feature, but it is a very useful one. See the screenshot below for an example of how my debugger/extension uses them to do syntax highlighting of code evaluated in a REPL.

Although the syntax highlighting is better than no highlighting, it would be even better if the colors were brighter and a better match for the syntax highlighting in the editor. Please allow high intensity color codes to display as such in the debug console.
