Add terminal to Node-RED editor

Can we have a terminal in the Node-RED editor like the one available in vscode? I think it makes sense to have it part of the editor because as a developer Im always interacting with an external rerminal when working with Node-RED

I, for one, don't like this idea. I much rather have a real terminal alongside and the added complexity to the Editor just doesn't seem worth it. Then again, I really don't know about that last point so what do I know?

Has been done by Master @BartButenaers --> GitHub - bartbutenaers/node-red-contrib-xterm: A Node-RED node terminal front-end, to execute backend CLI commands

EDIT: BTW over at flows ==> node-red-contrib-xterm (node) - Node-RED ==> the readme is empty ... is there something gone wrong? @flowfuse

@BartButenaers your project looks awesome. I just wanted that the terminal could be always visible when any of the side panels are open. Could you do it?
