Add simple markdown formatting to `rustc --explain` output

This is a second attempt at #104540, which is #63128 without dependencies.

This PR adds basic markdown formatting to `rustc --explain` output when available. Currently, the output just displays raw markdown: this works of course, but it really doesn't look very elegant. (output is `rustc --explain E0038`)

After this patch, sample output from the same file:

This also obeys the `--color always/auto/never` command option. Behavior:

- If pager is available and supports color, print with formatting to the pager
- If pager is not available or fails print with formatting to stdout - otherwise without formatting
- Follow `--color always/never` if suppied
- If everything fails, just print plain text to stdout
