`colors` package update would improve webpack compatibility
I'm trying to include this module in a project with webpack, which tries to gather up code into discrete bundles. It can't do this if it can't figure out where a require is likely to lead.
Older versions of colors included a setTheme method that took an arbitrary string and then tried to require that string directly, i.e. literally anything could possibly be required from literally anywhere... so webpack is in a bind. This was resolved several years ago in colors, and hopefully that dependency could be updated in the next release of cli-table.
I would have already opened a pull request myself today, but colors doesn't keep a changelog and I'm not sure how it's being used in this package, so I'm afraid of breaking something.
Do not update colors npmjs package to >=1.4.1.

This issue could be closed in favor of #167, which has effectively the same solution (https://github.com/Automattic/cli-table/pull/169) cc @chrean
