Description of the new feature/enhancement

I'm a Surface pro user and sometimes need to use CLI tools without bothering to pick up the keyboard (although it's a mess to type with on-screen keyboard), but it turns out that Windows Terminal is not optimized for touchscreen at all.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

As far as I can tell, the following need to be implemented:

  1. Automatically popup on-screen keyboard and resize the window to fit it on touch.
  2. Long press to select/copy/paste.
  3. Zoom with finger gestures (Touch Zoom with two fingers don't work on Touch screen (but it works on Touch Pad) #3149)
