Windows Terminal configuration is version specific #3

Found one issue during the addition of support for Windows Terminal: As many other Microsoft applications, the configuration for Windows Terminal is not really a dotfile, it is stored directly into some hidden folders within APPDATA and also in the original folder where the application is installed.

The path within APPDATA seems to be version dependant (or at least OS dependant): E.g: ~/AppData/Local/Packages/Microsoft.WindowsTerminalPreview_8wekyb3d8bbwe/LocalState/settings.json

We should find a way to avoid being version dependant, as this will most likely fail in future updates or patches of Windows or Windows Terminal.
