The debug tap is great. Really helpful for figuring out what we're getting from conpty. However, sometimes it's hard to get the terminal into a bugged state (see #6901, #6987), and if you didn't already have the debug tap open, then you can't use it.

I think it would be awesome if we could add an action to take the current connection, wrap it up in a debug tap, and open up a new pane to see the debug output.

We need a way to replace a TermControl's existing connection seamlessly with another one. That's intimidating, but I think doable.
