Fix missing warningstream (or similar problem) (#7034)

Use the --color command line parameter instead of a setting for coloured logs

This fixes the missing warningstream bug, g_settings->get mustn't be used there.
Also, the decision about en- or disabling log colours fits better to the command line parameters than minetest settings.
