Cray bugfix: TERM missing while reading default target (#15381)

Bug: Spack hangs on some Cray machines

Reason: The TERM environment variable is necessary to run bash -lc "echo $CRAY_CPU_TARGET", but we run that command within env -i, which wipes the environment.

Fix: Manually forward the TERM environment variable to env -i /bin/bash -lc "echo $CRAY_CPU_TARGET"
