It's designed to be used as a login shell.  The feature is documented,
and it behaves in a slightly different way if it is used that way.

I saw the PR, and I feel a bit uncomfortable making screen a part of
/etc/shells unconditionally.  OTOH, if the user has to add an entry in
mk.conf for it, it's just the same as adding the entry in /etc/shells.

My main concern with having screen as a login shell, is what happens
when you launch a shell from an application?
