terminal-util: use getenv_bool for $SYSTEMD_COLORS
This changes the semantics a bit: before, SYSTEMD_COLORS= would be treated as "yes", same as SYSTEMD_COLORS=xxx and SYSTEMD_COLORS=1, and only SYSTEMD_COLORS=0 would be treated as "no". Now, only valid booleans are treated as "yes". This actually matches how $SYSTEMD_COLORS was announced in NEWS.
