Description of the new feature/enhancement

Design doc link

It would be really cool if we had a preview of the terminal in the Settings UI > Profile > Appearance page and the Settings UI > Color Schemes page.

Implementation plan:

  • Move TerminalSettings to TerminalSettingsModel project
  • Introduce
  • In Settings UI...
    • embed TermControl where you want it
    • generate a TerminalSettings object for TermControl initialization (see #8602 )
    • (Profiles) introduce a TerminalConnection to use here
    • (Color Scheme) introduce a TerminalConnection with the color tool color table
