[pacman-dev] Please make the colourised output exactly like that of "pacman-color"

Agreed in general, but it makes sense to reuse the same colors for the
same classes of information across different commands. The package
names, repositories, groups and versions have color in -Ss/-Qs so it
makes sense to reuse those same colors in the -Si output and perhaps
elsewhere like the -Su output.

It makes it easier to visually jump to the right place in the output if
there are some consistently colored lines. It doesn't all need color.

I don't use Pacman enough that I'd benefit from any of this though...
only upgrades, occasionally package installation and rarely a search or
query command.
