Not very long ago, ansi color support was enabled in dnscontrol, to ease reviewing of changesets.
This doesn't play well with notifications, as they usually can't render these codes; slack for example outputs the escape codes, leading to ugly and hard to grasp messages. See #2499 for a few examples.
This changeset ensures that any message coming to a notifier will get stripped of ansi color codes, before passed on to the notifier.
That way, notifiers are then free to re-add colors in a way that is supported in the relevant platform.
