The DebugHandler is currently set up to print colors to the console on windows by using functions provided in the Windows.h header file.

This is currently behind an #ifdef for unix platforms. It would be nice to get the colouring working on unix.

Original comment on the issue by @Pursche

We don't need a library for this, the functionality of the DebugHandler is really simple.
First we need to figure out variadric templates and how to pass them along to printf on Unix, this would be the "Args" part of the templates. If I followed the discord conversation correctly this works a bit differently in gcc/clang. Then we need to replace the Windows specific "SetConsoleTextAttribute" with whatever the Unix equivalent is within simple ifdefs.
