Workspaces / Open a group of tabs at one time

[roberttco]

Description of the new feature/enhancement

I would like to be able to open multiple tabs (a collection of tabs) at one time - much like opening a saved collection in Edge. It would be nice if each tab had the same look/feel.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

At ahigh level, this feature would include:

• easily adding a tab to a collection - right click and in the tab's settings through a collection dropdown.
• easily remove a tab from a collection.
• assign the same look/feel to each tab in a collection (collection appearance?)
• open tabs not already open in the collection (e.g. don't open a new tab if one is already open and it belongs to the collection).

GUYS THIS IS NOW THE WORKSPACES THREAD. I've been thinking about this for a while now, and I'm super on board.

(also previously discussed in https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/16502#issuecomment-1875636597)

Now, you can absolutely already do something kinda like this with the multipleActions action. But that's not super well exposed, and it's clunky.

I've been now really thinking for a while about "workspaces" for the Terminal. Or like, named windows. Each would have a set of tabs, and restore separately. And if you closed a named window, then we'd persist that name separately, and allow it to be restored simply.

(I've been using workspaces in Edge way too much recently and can't get over how useful they are)
