- Implements the default application behavior and handoff mechanisms
between console and terminal. The inbox portion is done already. This
adds the ability for our OpenConsole.exe to accept the incoming server
connection from the Windows OS, stand up a PTY session, start the
Windows Terminal as a listener for an incoming connection, and then
send it the incoming PTY connection for it to launch a tab.
- The tab is launched with default settings at the moment.
- You must configure the default application using the `conhost.exe`
propsheet or with the registry keys. Finishing the setting inside
Windows Terminal will be a todo after this is complete. The OS
Settings panel work to surface this setting is a dependency delivered
by another team and you will not see it here.
## Validation Steps Performed
- [x] Manual adjust of registry keys to the delegation conhost/terminal
behavior
- [x] Adjustment of the delegation options with the propsheet
- [x] Launching things from the run box manually and watching them show
in Terminal
- [x] Launching things from shortcuts and watching them show in the
Terminal
Documentation on how it works will be a TODO post completion in #9462

I wanted to start using VScode. It wasn't easy. I wrote some tasks that allow us to build the various flavors of OpenConsole and Windows Terminal from one of the tasks. I also wrote a task that allows registration of the loose Windows Terminal package and a shortcut one to launch it.
Also it was grinding away at its own Intellisense forever because it was indexing obj, bin, packages, etc. I excluded those.
Things should be easier now for folks in general. I expect we'll make more task types in the future.
