Replace crayon by cli + address some TODOs to add some color

[olivroy]

Also removed RdMacros since no longer used. (also no longer recommended by pkgdown..

The end goal is to have clickable links in output.

info (to ignore for now)

With a change I have locally (not included here), I am able to acheive the following for the stack trace. However, there is a slowdown. So, I will look into it.

However, there is a slowdown. So, I will look into it.

Are there any performance changes in what's currently in the PR?

[olivroy]

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I didn't include the change in question in this PR. I was just storing this unrelated info here to make sure I'd find it when I needed it.

[gadenbuie]

That makes sense; it's also how I interpreted your notes. In other words, since you had looked at the speed, it'd be helpful to know if there are any performance changes in the PR as it is now.

Also, if you're still working on this and aren't ready for a review, would you mind changing the PR to a draft to avoid confusion?

[olivroy]

No, I am done with this PR! I observed decreased performance with some other changes I didn't include in the PR (that I may send as a follow-up if I figure out how to limit decreased performance)

Here are some bench marks for this PR.

# cli more performant!
