I don't think adding a special-case for TERM is worth it, but maybe
a more generic "SetEnv" that works in conjunction with SendEnv?

E.g.

Host foo
	SetEnv TERM xterm
	SetEnv LANG C

TERM would be sent implicitly as part of session setup, but the rest would
be equivalent to pre-loading the environment and doing SendEnv.

-d
