23.0.50; $TERM in shell-mode buffers

[raman]

Isuspect this happened right around the time of the multi-tty
checkin.

The TERM environment variable in shell-mode buffers is  now
inheriting its value from emacs' environment, so in my world,
it's either showing up as "linux" at the linux console, or
"screen" when running under screen.

This causes confusion if one runs things like ssh from shell-mode
buffers, because the other end treats it as a true terminal.

Would be nice for shell-mode buffers to go back to using "emacs"
as the terminal type.
