Using DAP's runInTerminal this PR adds the ability to use that new terminal for the inferior's I/O. The basic idea of the inferior terminal on Linux is: - adapter requests client (aka vscode) to create a terminal (using runInTerminal) - in that terminal we run a small script that "returns" the tty name to the adapter (using an atomically created file with the output of tty command) - then the script waits until the adapter is complete by monitoring the PID of the adapter's node process The script run in the terminal won't auto-stop when running the adapter in server mode (typically should only be used for development of the adapter) Part of eclipse-cdt-cloud#161
