Expose a terminal's creation options as API

[DonJayamanne]

Right now when a terminal is created the onDidOpenTerminal event fires providing the ref to the terminal created.

This information is crucial for the Python Extension when activating the Python Environment in the terminal.

Note: Each workspace folder can have different python environments, hence the workspace folder Uri is necessary when identifying the python environment that needs to be activated.

Suggestion: Add workspaceUr or cwd to the Terminal object.

Well terminals aren't bound to workspaces and we can't expose a dynamic cwd, how about this?

export interface Terminal {
  readonly initialCwd: string;
}

That's perfect, yes I agree with your comment.

@DonJayamanne if #46696 worked in multi-root workspaces would that also fix the problem?

[DonJayamanne]

Unfortunately no.

@DonJayamanne you need to do more than just set the python version on the path, like run some script to set up virtual env or something?

Yes, thats right.
