Add note about integrating with Windows Terminal #10

I actually hadn't heard about Windows Terminal before I looked through your pull request. I just tried it out and it's great, so thanks for bringing it to my attention!

Interestingly, I was able to set up SimplySerial as a dedicated terminal with no issues. For the command line I tried ss, ss.exe, and ss.exe -com:11 -baud:9600 and all options worked fine. I'm running SimplySerial 0.4.1 (system installer version) and Windows Terminal 1.7.1033.0 on Windows 10 Pro 20H2 build 19042.906.

Can you provide any specifics regarding your setup, or the error message you get when trying to launch SimplySerial directly in Windows Terminal?

Weird, it's working well today. When I tried it that day, I get a hex error code. Maybe it was a path issue with Windows Terminal, since I'd installed the tool while it was open. Let me alter this to note that you can use it with a link to WT and remove the workaround.
