Description of the new feature/enhancement

It would be nice if there was a live share style system were you could click a link and share it to allow a remote user to interact in the same terminal as you have open.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

I was thinking maybe a link in the tab or a right click menu with the option to create a live share session of the tab.

Once connected I'd expect icons in the title bar of the users connected (highlight to bring up a card with more details + commands, i.e. kick user).

Or maybe a circle with a number indicating the number of users connected, hover and more details appear in the terminal window (cards or something similar).

Related if we're talking the actual Live Share extension: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/79211

You can always use some other collaborative shell like tmux, that's what we use to do collaborative development. Seems like the burden of responsibility should be developed in the ide, not a feature developed into the terminal emulator. But it's not my project :)
