Default column for a new results pane

[Raymondd]

MSSQL Extension Version: 0.2.0
VSCode Version: 1.8
OS Version: Win10

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open three columns in VSCode.
2. Run a query that opens a results pane.

Actual:
Results pane opens in 2nd column (current default for new panes).

Expected:
Not sure. Where should the results pane default to?

I think @kevcunnane or @erickangMSFT would be the people to ask about design questions like this.

In order to accommodate different styles of development, we will be adding a setting defined as follows:
ResultView.splitPaneSelection = {same|next|last}
same: open split pane in same window as active editor
next: open split pane to the right of the active editor
last: open split pane in last column

default value will be 'next'

Is it possible for the result pane to be on the bottom? Similar to what SSMS does now.

I would also request that an option to be below, or above.

Propose also changing values next and last to left and right.
ResultView.splitPaneSelection = {current|left|right|below|above}
