Turn on terminal TypedArray-based buffer by default

[Tyriar]

"terminal.integrated.experimentalBufferImpl": "TypedArray"

Testing should focus on resizing the terminal as well as inputting emoji, CJK and "high plane chars" (those with a char code above 65535).

Been playing with this option. I have to say the perf is quite amazing. I'm very impressed that the vscode terminal is actually faster than than both iTerm and built-in Mac OSX terminal.

That's what I love about vscode. It's attention to perf. Thank you!

@nojvek glad to hear you've been testing it out! Much more in the works 😃

This particular one was pretty much all @jerch 💪 xtermjs/xterm.js#791

Thx @nojvek! We still have a few more perf gems to come with the next releases, stay tuned 😺

And thx for testing, we need every helping hand to cover the edge cases, esp. for those bigger changes.

Btw I used vscode terminal extensively to test v2 of matrix-rain.

You can try it at npm install -g matrix-rain; matrix-rain

Vscode terminal is the fastest out of iTerm and macOS Terminal app.

So looking forward to a super fast terminal (hopefully standalone someday).

@nojvek nice! xtermjs/xterm.js#1790 will make it even better when that eventually goes in

I removed the JsArray completely as TypedArray is very stable at this point.
