This commit extends $SYSTEMD_COLORS to an enum variable (compared to a simple boolean) which specifies the "colors mode". This means that, in addition to disabling colors altogether, it's now possible to restrict the console output to 16 or 256 colors only.

<para>This option instructs the pager to not send termcap initialization and deinitialization

strings to the terminal. It is set by default to allow command output to remain visible in the

terminal even after the pager exits. Nevertheless, this prevents some pager functionality from

working, in particular paged output cannot be scrolled with the mouse.</para>

must be taken to ensure that unintended interactive features are not enabled. "Secure" mode for the

pager may be enabled automatically as describe above. Setting <varname>SYSTEMD_PAGERSECURE=0</varname>

or not removing it from the inherited environment allows the user to invoke arbitrary commands. Note

that if the <varname>$SYSTEMD_PAGER</varname> or <varname>$PAGER</varname> variables are to be

honoured, <varname>$SYSTEMD_PAGERSECURE</varname> must be set too. It might be reasonable to completely

disable the pager using <option>--no-pager</option> instead.</para></listitem>
