Looking at the sources (finally), jansi already supports a mode to
"force" [1] escape sequences, even when the output is not a terminal.  I
propose that we revert the patch and update the Java build tooling to
set the property as desired for our builds.

Once I get this tested and the property configured, I'll upload to
experimental.

Thanks,
