Disable advanced terminal behavior when TERM is dumb

Description

lint-staged needs to respect when TERM is dumb and output simple information. This fixes issues in applications / plugins like vim-fugitive. An example is how chalk respects this here: https://github.com/chalk/supports-color/blob/8a40054cdbcd3f42b4f68eaefb41c3064835b991/index.js#L65-L67

Reference: https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive/issues/1446

Steps to reproduce

Running:

% export TERM=dumb && npx lint-staged
  ✔ Preparing...
  ✔ Running tasks...
  ✔ Applying modifications...
  ✔ Cleaning up...

Should output more simple information like:

% npx lint-staged | cat                                                                                                                                  ~/code/righttp develop +

lint-staged appears to be setting FORCE_COLOR for all ttys, which has higher precedence than TERM=dumb in chalk’s supports-color library. A conservative change would be to add a TERM check to this conditional. It appears this behavior was added in #50 for, frankly, dubious reasons (at least from an outsider’s perspective); I would recommend reassessing if it’s still necessary.
