Terminal hover positioning is unfriendly

• have a long’ish link, like echo https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/162335
• mouse-hover over the number
• 🐛 the link hover appears left aligned, ignores my mouse x-coordinate, and forces me to move the cursor into it (which can be finicky)

The editor positioning is now improved via https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/163970 , let’s keep this issue around to track the terminal hover positioning.

Do we know if there’s a good reason we haven’t respected the mouse position in the editor case? Seems like it would be a good idea to update both if there isn’t one.

The reason was, as @Tyriar mentioned, to align the hover with the current word / symbol being hovered. Over the years, we’ve added a range property to a hover result, where a hover provider can express what range their hover applies to, and we moved to use that. Most of the times, that range is something sensible, like the current word/symbol. But I agree that this doesn’t work very well if the range is a lot larger, if it begins far away from the mouse position or on a wrapped line, etc. This came up a lot over the years, I’ll look into improving things.
