Description of the new feature/enhancement

I like having my console sessions start with a dump of pertinent version information. I was hoping to find an easy way to get the version info of the Windows Terminal session. I'd add it to my profile.ps1:

"- posh-git version/path: $($m = Get-Module posh-git; '{0} {1} {2}' -f $m.Version,$m.PrivateData.PSData.Prerelease,$m.ModuleBase.Replace($HOME,'~'))`n- PowerShell version: $($PSVersionTable.PSVersion)`n- $(
git --version)`n- OS: $([System.Environment]::OSVersion)`n- Terminal: ($([System.Environment]::WindowsTerminalVersion)"

Seems the best place to do this is in an environment variable as I've shown above (- Terminal: ($([System.Environment]::WindowsTerminalVersion)).

If #1040 were solved, would you be able to use that?
