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.
