CMake install does not run in terminal as a task

[cjhowedev]

Brief Issue Summary

If I have a tasks.json like this:

{
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "tasks": [
    {
      "type": "cmake",
      "label": "install",
      "command": "install",
      "targets": [
        "all"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

And I run the task, then I see the following in the integrated terminal:

Install Started...

 *  The terminal process failed to launch (exit code: -1). 

And then the install runs successfully from the Output pane asynchronously.

What I expect is for the task to complete successfully. Because of the above error, the install task fails before the install ever runs. This means if I use install as a preLaunchTask for a debug configuration, I will be unable to run the debug configuration successfully.

We are pushing an update on tasks feature, including the "install" task, which will be available when this PR is checked in : #2636, I will provide a VSIX for you to test as soon as it is ready.
The install task doesn't support the "target" field.
