Brad King c7a8c9c811 cmMessenger: Revert to non-color messages on Windows
Since commit 0a0a0f8a74 (cmMessenger: Color messages to terminal by
type, 2021-05-18, v3.21.0-rc1~146^2) the message output no longer goes
through our custom streambuf on Windows that converts output encoding.
This can cause messages to be printed with the wrong encoding in a
Windows Console.  It also causes messages to have a mix of LF and CRLF
newlines because `stderr` converts LF to CRLF but our custom streambuf
does not.

Revert to using just `cerr` for messages on Windows.  Another approach
will be needed to achieve color output on Windows later.

Fixes: #22444

CMake Tests Directory
*********************

This directory contains the CMake test suite.
See also the `CMake Source Code Guide`_.

.. _`CMake Source Code Guide`: ../Help/dev/source.rst

Many tests exist as immediate subdirectories, but some tests
are organized as follows.

* ``CMakeLib/``:
  Source code, used for tests, that links to the ``CMakeLib`` library
  defined over in ``Source/``.

* ``CMakeOnly/``:
  Deprecated.  Tests that run CMake to generate a project but not build it.
  Superseded by ``Tests/RunCMake/``.

* ``Find*/``:
  Tests for specific find modules that can only be run on machines with
  the corresponding packages installed.  They are enabled in
  ``CMakeLists.txt`` by undocumented options used on CI builds.

* ``Module/``:
  Tests for specific CMake modules.

* ``RunCMake/``:
  Tests that run CMake and/or other tools while precisely checking
  their return code and stdout/stderr content.  Useful for testing
  error cases and diagnostic output.
