Closing (both using X and the bin icon) all integrated terminals does not refresh Path variables

[sak2]

Type: Bug

In Windows you don't get updated Path variables etc without restarting Powershell or CMD. In VS Code there is no way to restart the Terminal itself without fully exiting out of VS Code.

We have a way to restart the terminal / relaunch it when extensions contribute environment variables, but yeah, we don't currently have support for this if the environment is modified by the user AFAIK.
