Add support for 256 truecolor (#13853)

Beforehand the `terminfo[colors]` and `COLORTERM` were not set properly.
The terminal already supports 256 truecolor, but cli tools might not use it, as the env variables were not set correctly.
This is fixed with this PR, the color is not set to `256` and `COLORTERM` is set to `truecolor`.

Fixes #13523.
