Work with screen-256color as $TERM in tmux #6

Hi Paul,

I love fqless! It actually encouraged me to peek into FASTQ files instead of treating them almost as binary blobs.

At the moment fqless requires TERM to be set to xterm-256color. In tmux, TERM should be set to screen-256color. While there are workarounds (e.g. setting $TERM to xterm-256color manually, not advised), it would be nice if fqless can support screen-256color as a valid for displaying colors as tmux is a very common tool in a server environment.

Thank you, thats a good point. I will try to make this work. At the moment I am not sure if the used libraries support this. Hopefully this will be possible.
