Description of the new feature/enhancement

I'm copying this feature from ConEmu.

In Python development on Windows, if you run an asyncio loop then Python can't be stopped using regular KeyboardInterrupt Exception. This leaves me forced to have to close the current tab and open new one. In ConEmu this is resolved by the ability to bind keys combination to command that results in killing current PID, like:

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Terminal should be able to detect current running process in the current tab and gets its PID and offer the user the ability to force stop it using low-level Windows commands. Resulting in the process running to be killed, but the shell used to start the process kept alive and back in focus for the user to continue using the current tab using the current shell.

This would also be helpful for the "close tabs?" confirmation. Thanks!

@DHowett-MSFT Well, a tab close confirmation would be great as well, but I'm not sure if mixing them both in one issue would be satisfying for @msftbot 😁
