#12263: Unset TERM when running sage non-interactively

------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 Because of either a readline or a Python bug, sometimes control characters
 are output by Python.  For example, on my Gentoo Linux system:
 {{{
 jdemeyer@arcanis:~$ sage --python -c 'import readline' |cat -t
 ^[[?1034hjdemeyer@arcanis:~$
 }}}

 This breaks doctests at #12249 for `sage-run`.  The easiest solution is to
 unset the `TERM` environment variable when running `sage-run` or `sage-
 eval`.  This will effectively disable readline.
