[BUG] ghostty detection is slow (not fast)

Description

I was running fastfetch on terminal startup (e.g. in shell startup file) and noticed it seemed a bit slow, and I've narrowed it down (using fastfetch --stat) to the terminal and terminal font modules.

Expected: detecting terminal and its font is similar speed to other modules (e.g. less than 10ms).
Observed: it takes over 100ms.

Example:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Use ghostty terminal.
2. Run fastfetch --stat
3. Optionally, for debugging, use the simplified config (in ~/.config/fastfetch/config.jsonc) (attached below).
4. Observer timings.

System information

Probably unrelevant, seems issue stems from exec'ing ghostty (based on this part of the code).
