Description
Describe the bug
After running npx npkill in git bash console over windows I get this
Admin@DESKTOP-55L0JCL MINGW64 ~
$ npx npkill
Oh no! Npkill does not support this terminal (TTY is required). This is a bug, which has to be fixed. Please try another command interpreter (for example, CMD in windows)

this.stdin.setRawMode(set);

Research direction
Start with lib/services/ui.service.js and the calls from lib/controller.js shown in the stack trace, then reproduce npx npkill in Git Bash with mintty on Windows. Trace the unsupported-terminal path and verify that Git Bash no longer fails with setRawMode is not a function and can run npkill successfully.
