Apply util.styleText to the `node --help` output for improved visual hierarchy and scannability. Styling is applied only when the output stream supports color (detected via util.styleText's built-in shouldColorize), so piped/redirected output and NO_COLOR remain plain text with no behavior change. - Bold: Usage lines, Options:, Environment variables: headers - Bold green: CLI option names (e.g. --inspect, -e, --eval) - Bold magenta: environment variable names (e.g. NODE_PATH) - Dim: "(currently set)" annotation - Blue underline: documentation URL Column-width math uses unstyled string lengths to preserve alignment regardless of styling. The "(currently set)" annotation is styled via post-processing after layout to avoid breaking the fold() width calculation. Signed-off-by: Adrian Estrada <edsadr@gmail.com>
