Description

## Problem

SAM CLI now has "rich" output https://github.com/aws/aws-sam-cli/pull/5107 https://github.com/aws/aws-sam-cli/pull/4998. This is disabled if `NO_COLOR` env var is set or no tty (pty/terminal) is detected.

## Expected behavior

Show the rich output in the Output view when running SAM CLI commands.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how SAM CLI run/debug commands feed output into the VS Code Output view, then inspect how terminal detection and NO_COLOR affect that path. Done means rich color output appears in the Output view when running SAM CLI commands.
