Support for non-standard shells

[kfardanesh]

Running code using the "Run Python File in Terminal" icon should support shells outside of pwsh, cmd, etc. If using Powershell, the command is prefixed with &. If using CMD, the command is not prefixed. If using another shell (such as nushell), the command is still prefixed as if it was powershell. This causes the command to fail.

I have been using the setting "terminal.integrated.shell.windows" for setting the shell to utilize.

Hey @kfardanesh! If we were to do it, I believe we'd address #11812 so that it's possible to configure the shell for running Python files. So I'm closing in favour of that 😊
