[Maxima-bugs] [maxima:bugs] #4354 gnuplot_dumb_term_command causes "set term dumb" to be ignored

Fixed with commit [a47f86]. the command:
~~~
plot2d (sin, [x, 0, 1],[gnuplot_term,dumb],
        [gnuplot_dumb_term_command,"set term dumb 140 60"]);
~~~
Now works as expected. Notice that you don't need to change the plot_format to gnuplot, because that's done automatically when gnuplot_term is 'dumb'. Also, if you preferrred to use global plotting options, you could do the following:
~~~
set_plot_option ([gnuplot_term,dumb],
          [gnuplot_dumb_term_command,"set term dumb 140 60"])$
plot2d (sin, [x, 0, 1])$
~~~
In a single set_plot_option command you can set several options.

```
set_plot_option ([plot_format, gnuplot]);
set_plot_option ([gnuplot_term, dumb]);
plot2d (sin, [x, 0, 1]);
```
shows a plot on the console as expected. However,
```
set_plot_option ([plot_format, gnuplot]);
set_plot_option ([gnuplot_term, dumb]);
set_plot_option ([gnuplot_dumb_term_command, "set term dumb 140 60"]);
plot2d (sin, [x, 0, 1]);
```
causes `set term` to be omitted from the Gnuplot commands entirely, as shown by inspecting the Gnuplot output file.

A workaround is to say `set_plot_option([gnuplot_postamble, "set term dumb 140 60"])`.
