Terminal and Terminal Font detection

#252 added support for displaying the terminal emulator in use as well as the font<br > the terminal emulator is currently using.
Terminal detection works by checking the value of $TERM_PROGRAM.
Terminal detection works by recursively checking parent processes until the result<br >
isn't $SHELL, *sh, screen or tmux.
This method of detection doesn't work with tmux as the parent processes aren't<br >
the current shell or the terminal emulator.
Font detection works by parsing the terminal emulator's config file.

| iTerm2 | Profile | No |
