Set TERM environment variable to "dumb" to disable traceback colors in IDLE, since IDLE doesn't understand ANSI escape sequences.

I tested this on macOS and colors were suppressed even when excepthook was set. I would have been OK with setting in IDLE processes, but being explicit here is fine too.

I believe sys.subprocess_arglist and sys.env could be set in init but will defer this and other cleanups to another PR sometime.

Tests were hanging incomplete, so updated to trigger a proper run. Will merge if finish before sleep.
