Steps to reproduce

Related: #16059

Note: While setting the NO_COLOR environment variable is the best choice for disabling VT (ANSI) escape sequence use by PowerShell's output-formatting system. without affecting terminal functionality, there's no reason why setting TERM to xtermm or xterm-mono or unknown values should break command-line editing on Unix-like platforms.

# On Unix
sh -c 'TERM=xterm-mono pwsh -nop -noexit -c ''Get-Item /'''

Note:

• xtermm is less ill-behaved with respect typing commands on the command line, but still broken with respect to command recall, for instance.

• an unknown value, such as nosuch, produces yet different symptoms.

Expected behavior

• The Get-Item / command's output should print without colors.

• Command-line editing should function normally.

Actual behavior

• Command-line editing is broken.
