Special characters in .env variables not correctly escaped

[alsteven]

Essentially the same as issue #50302, seems like you missed escaping a character.

• VSCode Version: 1.36.1
• OS Version: Windows 10

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Set up any python project
2. Create a .env file with BUG=HELLO>LOOKAFILE
3. Start debugging

The ">" character is not correctly escaped and will cause a file that begins with "LOOKAFILE" to be created in the current directory.

I should point out that because you are escaping the escape character (^), I can't even easily work around this, since my attempt to escape ">" by using "^>" gets turned into "^^>"

These are the characters you need to escape:
<, >, |, &, ^

This fix indeed didn't go far enough:

Someone just needs to change line 277 of src/vs/workbench/parts/debug/node/terminals.ts please.

Need to add escaping for three additional chars: |, < and >

I found the issue. Working on it, will create a PR soon
