slave: unset TERM_PROGRAM{,_VERSION}

Foot’s policy is to not set environment variables that identifies
it (except the well-known and established `TERM` variable).

We encourage applications to use terminfo to determine capabilities,
or terminal queries, when available. Or, at least use terminal queries
to detect the terminal and its version.

Setting environment variables is a bad idea since they are inherited
by all applications started by the terminal (which is the whole
point). But, this includes other terminal emulators, making it very
possible a terminal emulator gets mis-detected just because it was
started from another terminal.

Since there are a couple of terminal emulators that _do_ set
TERM_PROGRAM and TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION, unset these environment
variables to avoid being misdetected.

Closes #1349
