Accessibility public preview

This release marks the public preview of several accessibility improvements to the GitHub CLI that have been under development over the past year in partnership with our friends at Charm including:

• customizable and contrasting colors
• non-interactive user input prompting
• text-based spinners

These new experiences are captured in a new gh a11y help topic command, which goes into greater detail into the motivation behind each of them as well as opt-in configuration settings / environment variables.

We would like you to share your feedback and join us on this journey through one of GitHub Accessibility feedback channels! 🙌
