Terminal and Terminal Font detection

#252 added support for displaying the terminal emulator in use as well as the font the terminal emulator is currently using.
Terminal detection works by checking the value of $TERM_PROGRAM
.
Terminal detection works by recursively checking parent processes until the result
isn't $SHELL
, *sh
, screen
or tmux
.
This method of detection doesn't work with tmux
as the parent processes aren't
the current shell or the terminal emulator.
Font detection works by parsing the terminal emulator's config file.
