fix: prefer env vars over ioctl when ioctl returns 80x24

ioctl on stdout's fd can return the default 80x24 even when the
terminal is much larger (fd mismatch). The new logic:

1. Try ioctl — if it returns >80x24, trust it (correct at runtime).
2. If ioctl returned 80x24 (suspicious default), try COLUMNS/LINES
   from the shell environment instead.
3. If both fail, return whatever ioctl gave us (80x24).

This fixes initial sizing on terminals where ioctl disagrees with
the real TTY size, without breaking runtime SIGWINCH resize
(which always re-queries ioctl, and that is correct after resize).
