Add command-line option start terminal minimized

[jarpoole]

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Currently command-line options for launching the windows terminal in maximized and full screen modes are available (-M and -F respectively). Notably, an option of launching minimized is missing.

I use windows task scheduler to start a variety of scripts at logon to insure my build environment is brought up to date the second I logon. Having the output of these scripts display in an interactive terminal is extremely helpful. However when I start my computer and I am not quite ready to work I must interact with the windows terminal to minimize it. A minimize flag in the command line options would solve this issue.

I thought START /MIN wt.exe could be used as a workaround, but it leads to the crash #7396.

@zadjii-msft, @KalleOlaviNiemitalo, @jarpoole - does the behavior where the terminal is open and then is immediately minimized work for you?

I have a PoC for something like this and wondering if I should productize it or abandon 😄

@Don-Vito, how do you "immediately" minimize it? When I first quit Windows Terminal Preview 1.4.2652.0 and then repeatedly click the button that I have pinned to the task bar, the window doesn't lose its title bar.

There is the toggleFocusMode action though, if you don't want a title bar.

Or did you mean you have modified Windows Terminal to add a feature that minimizes the window immediately after opening?
