color: don't fail on error messages when no curses (issue4237)

The error only occured when Python didn't have curses - such as on Windows and
when Python was built without curses support.

No curses can also be emulated by (re)moving .../lib/python2.7/curses/ from the
Python installation.

It is left as an exercise to figure out exactly what changed in Mercurial that
triggered this error.
