The compose editor is spawned via fork+execvp and inherits profanity's
LINES/COLUMNS, which hold the size captured at startup and are never
refreshed on resize. A curses editor (nano, vim, ...) honors them over
the real window, so it renders at the launch-time size after a resize.

Drop LINES/COLUMNS from the child's environment before forking so its
curses falls back to ioctl(TIOCGWINSZ). Assembling the env in the parent
lets the child only reassign environ instead of calling unsetenv()
between fork and exec, keeping it clear of unsetenv()'s allocator work in
the multithreaded fork->exec window. profanity itself is unaffected.
