Keep host tools running when clear does not know the terminal

clear exits 1 for a TERM the host has no terminfo entry for, such as
xterm-ghostty or xterm-kitty over SSH, and when TERM is unset under cron.
The tools that run under errexit died on it in header_info within a
second, before showing anything, which telemetry counts as
"exit_code=1 | General error" with no step for update-lxcs, update-repo,
fstrim, clean-lxcs, execute and storage-share-helper.

Fall back to the escape sequence the engine's _cs_clear uses.
