VTE has never ever set the TERM environment variable to vte*. For the
last 7.5 years, it has been setting TERM to xterm-256color [1].
Earlier it used to be xterm.

Things like gnome and vte are the inventions of the terminfo
maintainer, who also maintains xterm, and thinks that no other
terminal emulator should set TERM to xterm*. However, this doesn't
match reality.

Regardless, VTE owns its PROMPT_COMMAND through its own Bash
configuration snippet in /etc/profile.d/vte.sh which has (and must
have) a higher priority than /etc/bashrc [2]. Therefore, this cleans
up unused cruft and makes things a little less confusing.
