New description:
Python 3.14 introduces colorized help to argparse:
https://docs.python.org/3.14/library/argparse.html#color
I propose that we enable this feature by setting `color=True` for all
argument parsers in Django, notably for management commands.
Python supports common opt-out environment variables for the feature. I
think we’ll need to extend that to also avoid setting the `color`
attribute when `DJANGO_COLORS` is set to `nocolor`,
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.2/ref/django-admin/#syntax-coloring
as already documented].
We may also be able to set the option when
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.2/ref/django-admin/#cmdoption-force-
color `--force-color`] is passed, although that may not make sense when
`--help` is passed.
