bitbake: knotty: Use non-interactive mode as fallback for dumb terminals

TERM=dumb bitbake X

shows no output for task status which is suboptimal. Use the non-interactive
mode if the terminal doesn't support what we need for interactive mode giving
a better user experience. Also print a note to the console to say this has
happened.
