Python extension loads the env var incorrectly

[burakcank]

Type: Bug

Behaviour

When I launch a new terminal in vscode, my .env variables are incorrectly read.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Use the following env variable ORACLE_DB_CONN_STR=oracle+oracledb://user:password@(DESCRIPTION=(LOAD_BALANCE=on)(FAILOVER=ON)...)
2. When you launch a terminal you can see that it was read as ORACLE_DB_CONN_STR=oracle+oracledb://user:password@(DESCRIPTION
3. I tried to load the same env var with django-environ, python-dotenv and they are working fine if there is no auto-load from the python extension.
4. I tried escaping.
5. My app works totally fine when I disable auto-loading of env variables with "python.envFile": "", in my settings.json file.
6. When the env variable is exported incorrectly during the terminal launch, it's also causing my application to fail. Basically django-environ is reading the already incorrectly exported value.

Oh wait, this might belong to the python extension repo instead of the debugger? Please let me know if that's the case.
