Add option to convert Crayon to string without checking if colors are available

[ronisbr]

Hi!

Using Julia-1.8, I am getting some inference problems when calling this function:

        write(buf_line, string(crayon))

The relevant information obtained from SnoopCompile is:

The problem seems related to the function have_color(). If I change the code to:

        write(buf_line, Crayons.CSI)
        Crayons._print(buf_line, crayon)
        write(buf_line, Crayons.END_ANSI)

The problem is gone and I can see a gain in allocations at first call:

Before:   0.702563 seconds (758.04 k allocations: 41.054 MiB, 1.56% gc time, 99.89% compilation time)
After:   0.645968 seconds (698.16 k allocations: 37.900 MiB, 2.14% gc time, 99.88% compilation time)

Since I am checking if display has colors, is it possible to provide a function to convert a crayon to string without checking if Base has colors?

Note: I can make a PR as soon as you accept this and we select a name (I am terrible in naming things... :D)
