Update the PowerShell example to work around a PSReadLine issue #689

PSReadLine cuts a substring since the last non-whitespace character in the prompt as the error prompt [1], which is displayed when there are syntax errors. As a result, when the prompt ends in $([char]27)\, as in the previous example, an unexpected backslash may appear.

See: https://github.com/PowerShell/PSReadLine/issues/3719

Closes https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/terminal/issues/597
