Let the user set a global setting to have the terminal re-open with whatever profiles were last open.

Thoughts:

  • what happens when a user has two windows open, closes one with 3 tabs, then opens a new window? Should it open the 3 tabs? Or should it start a fresh, single tabbed window?
  • how do we persist the last session?
  • Do we only persist the last tabs open when the last terminal window is closed?
  • Do we add a "quit terminal" option that closes all open windows, and persists all their open profiles?

THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION OF PRESERVING WINDOW CONTENT, ONLY OPEN WINDOW PROFILES

This also includes restoring things like previous window positions.
