Add feature to open a new terminal
Add ability to open a new weltschmerz terminal, either from context menu or
with a key combination. The new terminal is opened in the directory
indicated with OSC 7, allowing quickly opening additional terminals while
working.
Preferably this would launch the user's preferred terminal, as defined
in per-user settings, but this is not possible with glib[1]. For this
reason the option always launches another weltschmerz.
weltschmerz is launched using bare Process.spawn_async() on the name of the
program as defined in weltschmerz.vala. We considered using the AppInfo
database to retrieve the name of executable instead, but as there is no way
to query the database for terminal emulators we would have to go through
every single program installed on the computer and try to find one called
weltschmerz. As the change would merely replace the requirement of having
weltschmerz in PATH with the requirement of having a .desktop file with the
name in one of the standardized locations, this would not be worth it.
