[issue12918] New module for terminal utilities

[Éric Araujo]

New submission from Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org>:

It was suggested in #7798 to make the pager functions from pydoc public.  I can’t find a good place to put them, so I think we could add a new module with terminal-related utilities.  It could contain the pager functions, progress bars (there are many implementations to be compared), ANSI and Windows color codes (reimplemented over and over again), etc.

This may require a run through python-ideas and/or -dev, but I’m opening a bug for the record.
