Description
Provide some utility routines/settings for making make output a bit tidier
Adds QUIET (default=yes) and WITH_COL (default= undefined) options. If QUIET is defined then print a simple message for what operation is being performed rather than full set of commands. If WITH_COL is defined then use escape codes to colour the message output.
Start to tidy up some of the test Makefile output etc.
Note we currently use recursive calls to make in order to build/clean some of the test cases and these do not automatically inherit all of the settings of the parent so some of the new messaging/quiet-mode functions don't work here.

There’s more (much more) that could be done to further tidy up but I think this is probably better done in small chunks.
