Port gazebo Console log size reduction to ignition

[osrf-migration]

Original report (archived issue) by Steve Peters (Bitbucket: Steven Peters, GitHub: scpeters).

---

ign-common and gazebo use similar color console mechanisms, but the log files can be very large. A gazebo pull request helped reduce it a bit, but it hasn't yet been merged to ign-common.
