Env var relaunch is distracting #118066

Description

@Tyriar

When opening a Codespace for example there is a flicker in the terminal when it relaunches after the git extension contributes environment variables. Proposal:

  • Relaunch but don't touch the xterm.js instance
  • After 3 seconds or when focus or any input happens, diff the old terminal's data events with the new terminal's data events and if they're identical, do nothing, otherwise reset the terminal and write the new terminal's events
