Description of the new feature/enhancement

As a user, I would like to configure separate configurations for the first tab and for the context menu.

When I start Windows Terminal, I want the git bash to be the first tab. However, If I use the explorer context manu to open this folder in Windows Terminal, I usually want a new Powershell.

Currently, the default profile applies to the first tab as well as to any tabs opened using the explorer.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

In the settings, there could be a second dropdown for Startup profile below or above the default profile:

I am currently using Windows Terminal Preview, Version: 1.10.1933.0
