Correct handling of tmux by 'title'
Previous attempt was in commit a43e2e36f1667c2cecc4b547953fd1204238bb01:

Made 'title' work for $TERM used by tmux

Thanks to fugue.

See
https://q2a.vifm.info/227/how-to-stop-vifm-from-overwriting-screen-title?show=2470#c2470

That checked for tmux on a path that doesn't execute with "tmux" or
"tmux-*" $TERM value.
