Allow the user to choose which terminal to use by default when "Terminal=True" is specified. #1

Description

@DrewNaylor

This would be configured in the window for the program that actually handles the .desktop files.

The user would be able to choose between CMD.exe, PowerShell.exe, bash.exe, wsl.exe (unless the default WSL Bash environment is something different), ubuntu.exe, and a custom entry they can type in.

If the bash options can't be found, then it'll fall back to PowerShell. If that doesn't work for some reason, might need to fall back to CMD, but Windows generally has PowerShell now so that may not be required. Maybe also add an option for "Fallback Terminal" to choose between CMD and PowerShell as the fallback for bash.
