Closes #38304
Release Notes:
- Fixed true color detection regression by setting `COLORTERM=truecolor`
---
Reason:
The regression is possibly introduced in [pr#36576: Inject venv
environment via the
toolchain](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/36576/files#diff-6f30387876b79f1de44f8193401d6c8fb49a2156479c4f2e32bc922ec5d54d76),
where `alacritty_terminal::tty::setup_env();` is removed.
The `alacritty_terminal::tty::setup_env();` does 2 things, which sets
`TERM` & `COLORTERM` envvar.
```rs
/// Setup environment variables.
pub fn setup_env() {
// Default to 'alacritty' terminfo if it is available, otherwise
// default to 'xterm-256color'. May be overridden by user's config
// below.
let terminfo = if terminfo_exists("alacritty") { "alacritty" } else { "xterm-256color" };
unsafe { env::set_var("TERM", terminfo) };
// Advertise 24-bit color support.
unsafe { env::set_var("COLORTERM", "truecolor") };
}
