Use TERM=dumb instead of TERM=unknown in oarexec #55

Reported on oar-users@:

Currently, the script generated by Tools.pm sets TERM="unknown" which is not very handy. I didn't see where that's configurable by the user. A friendlier default might be TERM="dumb".

Nicolas, what do you think ?

I don't see the use case where "dumb" is better than "unknown" for the value of the TERM environment variable. Moreover if we change the value then it will break the user scripts that check this (maybe there is noboby doing this but maybe not)
