What does this PR do?

Prevents opencode from nuking the terminal emulator on Windows on /exit (Alacritty, WezTerm, Windows Terminal seems immune).

The issue is caused by opencode not switching out of alternate screen buffer mode before exiting, confusing the terminal emulator.

People have claimed this is a feature not a bug, but it's certainly implemented like a bug haha.

To test launch opencode in alacritty (or wezterm) on Windows. Type /exit, wait 2 seconds and notice your terminal emulator exits. Merge this fix into your working tree, run bun run dev, then /exit, and note your terminal emulator returns cleanly to the shell prompt.

This restores opencode to the same behaviour as every other TUI app on the planet.

How did you verify your code works?

I built and executed locally, comparing behaviour before/after the change and with the latest official release.
