Jade Lovelace 292567e0b0 fix: check if it is a Real terminal, not just if it is a terminal
This will stop printing stuff to dumb terminals that they don't support.

I've overall audited usage of isatty and replaced the ones with intent
to mean "is a Real terminal" with checking for that. I've also caught a
case of carelessly assuming "is a tty" means "should be colour" in
nix-env.
