Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

The TermControl constructor has been modified to take in a connection, thus TermControl does not need to initialize a connection anymore. Instead, TerminalApp initializes the connection and passes it into the TermControl constructor. Thus once we start allowing different types of connections (an Azure connection for example), the detection of the type of connection only needs to happen in TerminalApp.
