PR Summary
We want to encourage people to use PS7 for their extension terminal, but need to give them an easy way to test and debug PowerShell 5.1 tests.
This adds a setting to enable the selection of a different PowerShell executable for the temp terminal. It also adds a launch config sample for Windows PowerShell.

This has the added benefit of being able to temp console other PowerShell exes, such as a latest PowerShell build.
