When EDITOR is invoked to modify a commit message, it will likely
change the terminal settings, and if it misbehaves will leave the
terminal output damaged as shown in a recent report from Windows
Terminal[1]

Instead use the functions provided by compat/terminal to save the
settings and recover safely.
