Log:
  loader: Respect loader_color=YES for serial consoles
  
  It's not uncommon these days for the terminals attached to serial consoles
  to support ANSI escape sequences. However, we assume escape sequences may
  break some serial consoles and default to not using them when boot_serial or
  boot_multicons (or if console contains "comconsole" in the forth loader) for
  broader compatibility. We also have loader_color which can be explicitly set
  to "NO" to disable the use of ANSI escape sequences.
  
  The problem is that loader_color=YES gets ignored when boot_serial=YES or
  boot_multicons=YES (or when console contains "comconsole" in the forth
  loader).
  
  To fix, the existing default behavior remains unchanged when loader_color is
  unset, loader_color=NO explicitly disables the use of ANSI escape sequences
  still, and the change is that loader_color=YES can now be used to explicitly
  allow ANSI escapes when a serial console is enabled.
