Missing option for disabling terminal restoration

Whenever I open a project, chances are that a terminal will automatically open because the previous time I opened that project, its window had 1 or more terminals. This doesn’t work for me:

1. This “feature” is unpredictable. I may open a project 1 week or month later, who remembers if that window had a terminal?
2. It’s useless. If I want a terminal I’m a shortcut away from it. If I don’t need it however, I have to focus to it and close it.
3. I use my Terminals extension for managing terminals, I absolutely never need an empty terminal automatically open at startup.

What about a terminal.restoreTerminal: boolean option for disabling this?

A tangential feature to this is persistent sessions, these can be disabled with the following setting:

"terminal.integrated.enablePersistentSessions": false

@agausmann the python extension will soon be able to opt-out of the feature which sounds like it might make sense for certain Python terminals. @brettcannon your team might want to adopt this proposal: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/118726 (it hasn’t yet been to the API sync so it could change in early Jan).
