Summary of the new feature/enhancement

The Windows Terminal should support opening tabs from commands that come from outside its GUI. We should be able to run, for example, Terminal --run powershell.exe --cwd c:\myproject from anywhere and a new tab would be added to the Terminal, current working directory would be c:\myproject and powershell.exe would be the shell. If the Terminal was not running, then it would start and create only that tab.

My main use case for this is to use it with the Visual Studio extension Open Command Line. I could then click on any directory on VS and ask it to open that directory on the new Terminal.

Conemu already supports this with -run: https://conemu.github.io/en/ConEmuArgs.html
