Powershell - escape semicolon for multiple commands #14

Description

Powershell supports running multiple commands in sequence by separating them with a semicolon. Currently windows terminal will think these are commands for itself and try to run the commands separately in new tabs. By escaping them with a backlash (eg pwd \; ls) it will run multiple commands correctly.

Consider having an 'Escape characters' checkbox in a pane (maybe under an advanced settings dropdown) which is on by default and controls this. We may wish to escape other characters in the future, eg. double quotes.
