multi-root workspaces - integrated console should launch to root of launcher

[petervandivier]

Issue Description

The PowerShell Integrated Console is not my default terminal. In a multi-root project, when opening a .ps1 file, the integrated console launches automatically. This is useful since often I'll want to F5 / F8 bits of that file. Sadly however, the working directory of the integrated console is not set to the root folder of the file that induced the launch. If the .ps1 file I'm using is using resources at a relative location and doesn't otherwise handle for the different working directory, this becomes inconvenient. Surely though, it is better to launch the console to the working directory of the file that caused the launch.

Repro

mkdir foo bar baz
touch foo/foo.sh bar/bar.ps1 baz/baz.c
echo '{"folders":[{"path":"baz"},{"path":"foo"},{"path":"bar"}],"settings":{}}' > foobar.code-workspace
code foobar.code-workspace

When clicking on the file bar.ps1 to open it, you will note that opens to the "baz" working directory.
