This adds Context menus for directories and directories background to open in Windows Terminal

This depends on the latest version on main for Windows Terminal, after PR #8898 was merged in: microsoft/terminal#8898

It should be on the preview version on the store in a few weeks.

Adapt the paths to make it work, as the ones here will work on my machine only.
