Deprecated terminal settings should have a deprecation message

[alexr00]

While testing #120366, I found the profile settings confusing in relation to the old shell and shellArgs settings. I know about the shell and shellArgs settings, so of course I look at them first for guidance. Since they are now deprecated, the schema should show a message to that effect to help guide me to use the new settings correctly.

it's not clear how we should replace shellArgs with defaultProfile - can't see anything in the docs about defaultProfile.

how should I change my current setting?
"terminal.integrated.shellArgs.windows": ["-ExecutionPolicy", "Bypass"],

For powershell you would use either:

  "terminal.integrated.profiles.windows": {
    "PowerShell": {
      "source": "PowerShell",
      "icon": "terminal-powershell",
      "args": ["-ExecutionPolicy", "Bypass"]
    }
  }

Then set it as your default via the new dropdown next to the + button or with this setting:

"terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows": "PowerShell"

Created microsoft/vscode-docs#4526 to fix up the docs.

@Tyriar defaultProfile is only working when you open the terminal from the + button - it doesn't work on the first default terminal. looks like this is related to #123188, but #123188 (comment) doesn't solve it (added "terminal.integrated.shellArgs.windows": ["-ExecutionPolicy", "Bypass"])
