5.9.x Custom Terminal Command feature/fix.

[jboero]

Workaround feature for https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16804

Allow for terminal command to be specified in env variables. Export MONODEVELOP_CUSTOM_TERMINAL and MONODEVELOP_CUSTOM_FOLDER to use at runtime and bypass broken updates in terminals. This is necessary as terminal updates have broken both all of gnome-terminal, xterm, and konsole and there is no built-in way to customize the command being run. I know future versions of monodevelop have gotten rid of this altogether but backport to 5.9.x would be helpful...

To emulate or customize KDE/Konsole:
export MONODEVELOP_CUSTOM_TERMINAL = " --workdir="{3}" -e "bash -c '{0} {1} ; {2}'""
export MONODEVELOP_CUSTOM_FOLDER = " --nofork --workdir="{0}""

To emulate or customize GNOME:
export MONODEVELOP_CUSTOM_TERMINAL = " --disable-factory --title "{4}" -e "bash -c 'cd {3} ; {0} {1} ; {2}""
export MONODEVELOP_CUSTOM_FOLDER = " --working-directory="{0}""

Then run monodevelop as usual. A nice feature would be to include this in UI configuration some day but we'll see what the roadmap has.
Thanks - has been frustrating.. Hope this helps someone else.
