startup: if TERM is unset, try falling back to VT220 instead of failing

Curses cannot function if not informed via TERM which type of terminal
is being used.  As many terminals are mostly compatible with a VT220,
falling back to "vt220" when TERM is unset has a good chance of giving
the user a usable nano, instead of simply failing.

(Falling back to "vt100" is not good as it contains padding delays.)

This partially addresses https://bugs.debian.org/991982.
