Add support for MSYS2 / Git for Windows environment

[andgeno]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I tried to run the Windows executable in a Git for Windows MINGW64 terminal session. The program starts up but seems to just freeze instantly. Only way out is Ctrl-C, no other input is registered or works. I then ran the same executable in a Windows cmd terminal session and that worked fine but feels very inconvenient to me since most of my time I am working in a UNIX shell.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add support for MSYS2 / MINGW64 environments like the popular Git for Windows distribution.

Describe alternatives you've considered
A possible workaround would be to use an alias that will launch a Windows Cmd process with gitui inside the correct working directory.
Right now this is just too inconvenient for me to use so I hope for added support in the future.

When I run Git Bash from Windows Terminal and start the Windows executable of gitui 0.11.0 I only see the raw escape sequences:

This allso occured when using Powershell in Conhost when $env:TERM is not empty.

When $env:TERM is empty.

Then I set $env:TERM to xterm-256color. This bug occur.

Then I set $env:TERM empty. Gitui work as excepted.

This bug also occurred when I use Alacritty as terminal emulator.

@extrawurst If it was written in a language I know I might have given it a go, but Rust is not a language I know.
