[PATCH] Cygwin: pty: Use redraw screen instead of clear screen.

- Previously, pty cleared screen at startup for synchronization
  between the real screen and console screen buffer for pseudo
  console. With this patch, instead of clearing screen, the screen
  is redrawn when the first native program is executed after pty
  is created. In other words, synchronization is deferred until
  the native app is executed. Moreover, this realizes excluding
  $TERM dependent code.
