Description of the new feature/enhancement

There is an API to set the window title (ui.RawUI.WindowTitle). There should be a way to set the TabColor programmatically. It can be done with WT but only when spawning a new window.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

I presume the underlying mechanisms are there, but it just lacks an API akin to that for WindowTitle.
