terminal_prepare_query() is called from terminal_get_size() which operates on an explicitly passed fd — typically /dev/console opened directly by PID 1 via reset_dev_console_fd(), or a service's TTY via exec_context_apply_tty_size(). Using terminal_is_dumb() here is wrong because it additionally checks on_tty(), which tests whether stderr is a tty. PID 1's stderr may not be a tty (e.g. connected to kmsg or the journal), causing terminal_is_dumb() to return true and skip the ANSI query even though the fd we're operating on is a perfectly functional terminal. Use getenv_terminal_is_dumb() instead, which only checks $TERM, matching what terminal_reset_ansi_seq() already does. Also use it in terminal_get_cursor_position(), which also receives fds to operate on.
