Windows Terminal version: 1.8.1521.0
Windows Version: windows 10 20H2

Steps to reproduce:

  1. open the windows terminal with two tabs: cmd.exe and wsl.exe;
  2. switch between the cmd.exe and the wsl.exe;
  3. the icon in the taskbar is always the default '>_';

Expect:
The icon can be changed when the actived tab changed. For example, when I click the tab of wsl.exe, the icon in taskbar should be changed to a penguin (🐧) rather than the '>_'.
