fix(utils): hl-Statusline retrieval issue in toggleterm

This commit should fix a weird bug where `nvim_get_hl` would return an empty dict when trying to get `hl-Statusline` inside `toggleterm`. Not 100% sure why this was happening or what exact conditions caused it, but with this fix lualine now shows the right backgrounds in terminal mode! Signed-off-by: Jint-lzxy <[email protected]>
