[Error] pagination in exported apps doesn't work

[scarf005]

Describe the bug

pagination does not work for every single CLI programs including less, delta and https://github.com/sharkdp/bat.

To Reproduce

$ distrobox enter arch-distrobox-repro 
$ distrobox-export --bin $(which less)

This is probably because less inside a pipe uses the main process' pts, in this case it is not possible

This needs further investigation, more help is needed
