config: add term config option
Add a configuration key for the TERM environment variable. Default this to "ghostty". Most TEs are using their name as the default TERM value. Most modern termulators aren't even providing "xterm-" as an alias anymore, after some drama between kitty / ncurses. Notably, this also has issues for tcell-based applications (I've submitted a PR to tcell to fix) because it fails if the TERM value doesn't match the _primary_ name of the terminal in the terminfo file. Providing a config option allows users to modify-with-persistence if they have issues, but Ghostty should be known as Ghostty by default!
