Description
Feature
MYPY_FORCE_COLOR is an environment variable that can be used to, well, force color in mypy's output. It's a useful configuration setting that's used by several projects.
The environment variable is currently undocumented and untested. If #13814 is merged, people will also be able to use FORCE_COLOR to specify the same thing, and that will also be undocumented and untested.
It would be good to add docs and tests for these environment variables.
