container: Pass through TERM when calling exec.
* guix/scripts/container/exec.scm (guix-container-exec): Capture the value of
the TERM environment variable, and pass it through to the container. This
means some applications now work where they did not before (e.g. htop), and
others have more functionality, providing that the terminal was capable of
enabling that functionality in the first place.
