[PATCH iproute2-next] color: disable color when json output is requested

[Vincent Bernat <vincent@bernat.im>]

Instead of declaring -color and -json exclusive, ignore -color when
-json is provided. The rationale is to allow to put -color in an alias
for ip while still being able to use -json. -color is merely a
presentation suggestion and we can assume there is nothing to color in
the JSON output.
