Disable ASCII color codes for ASP.NET apps

At what date and time did you most recently experience the problem?

Any time a customer deploys a .NET app to App Service for Linux using the ORYX images, the default log behavior emits ASCII color codes that are injected into the logs. This makes the logs quite difficult to read. This screenshot shows that the log output looks like when customers deploy an out-of-the-box ASP.NET Core app to App Service using an ORYX image:

Once a customer sets the ASPNETCORE_LOGGING__CONSOLE__DISABLECOLORS environment variable to true in their App Service Configuration blade:

The log output is much friendlier:

Ideally, ORYX team could set the ASPNETCORE_LOGGING__CONSOLE__DISABLECOLORS to true in the base image for .NET apps.
