make term output is inconsistent between boards, ethos and native #12108
Description
Description
The behavior of the terminal is inconsistent with native and ethos compared to a normal board.
The output is missing the timestamping, typing an empty line does not repeat the last command as expected and there is no command history.
Steps to reproduce the issue
Execute default example with native, and examples/gnrc_border_router with a samr21-xpro and type a command, an empty line, and try to get back in history.
I typed 'help+enter', 'enter', 'up+enter'.
Expected results
It should have the same behavior as using examples-default with samr21-xpro.

BOARD=samr21-xpro RIOT_CI_BUILD=1 make --no-print-directory -C examples/default/ flash term
