Terminus: Use Powershell by default on Windows

[mikemaccana]

Windows 10 has made powershell the default terminal for some time now - run Win X and 'Powershell' and 'Powershell Admin' have replaced 'Command Prompt' which no longer appears in the list. Additionally the people responsible for maintaining cmd at Microsoft state that cmd is no longer being worked on and will receive minimal bug fixes in future. Currently Terminus starts cmd by default - I only worked this out after starting a terminal then wondering why ls etc suddenly didn't work and my $profile wasn't loaded.

Since Powershell is default for the OS, it would be better for Terminus to use Powershell as the default too.

Even better: detect if PSCore is installed (since installing PSCore provides a good indication you want to use PSCore) then make that default, otherwise falls back to Powershell 5.

Eugene thanks for your work on Terminus! I've started using 0.56 as a daily
driver since yesterday and I'm really happy with it. I've updated
https://github.com/mikemaccana/powershell-profile/ to recommend it as the
best Windows Terminal emulator, over ConEmu, Hyper, Alacritty and
everything else 😃✨
