Add nightly-only theming support to rustc output using Unicode box
drawing characters instead of ASCII-art to draw the terminal UI.

In order to enable, the flags -Zunstable-options=yes --error-format=human-unicode must be passed in.

After:

error: foo
  ╭▸ test.rs:3:3
  │
3 │       X0 Y0 Z0
  │   ┌───╿──│──┘
  │  ┌│───│──┘
  │ ┏││━━━┙
  │ ┃││
4 │ ┃││   X1 Y1 Z1
5 │ ┃││   X2 Y2 Z2
  │ ┃│└────╿──│──┘ `Z` label
  │ ┃└─────│──┤
  │ ┗━━━━━━┥  `Y` is a good letter too
  │        `X` is a good letter
  ╰╴
note: bar
  ╭▸ test.rs:4:3
  │
4 │ ┏   X1 Y1 Z1
5 │ ┃   X2 Y2 Z2
6 │ ┃   X3 Y3 Z3
  │ ┗━━━━━━━━━━┛
  ├ note: bar
  ╰ note: baz
note: qux
  ╭▸ test.rs:4:3
  │
4 │   X1 Y1 Z1
  ╰╴  ━━━━━━━━

Before:

  = note: baz
note: qux
