Description
When TERM == screen, micro will erase the previous contents of the terminal when exiting instead of resuming from the swap buffer. So that the terminal screen is clear and the prompt is displayed at the top.
Ubuntu 16, xterm

Research direction
Reproduce the exit behavior with TERM=screen on the reported Ubuntu/xterm setup, then trace micro's terminal teardown and screen restoration paths. Done means exiting micro preserves the previous terminal contents and returns the prompt without clearing the screen.
