Set default working directory for new tabs

[JeffreyEberl]

When I open a new tab, I'd like it to start from the same place every time. It looks like someone worked hard to get it to keep the cwd when you open a new tab (cool) but not everyone wants that.

I'd like to make it configurable, and if set, then always open with that location.

I don't know gtk well, so I couldn't figure out how to add it to the preferences dialog (I guess it could be another hidden feature). But I can make it happen in the source code.

Also, I'm a git guy, so the patch is in git format. Sorry. It's a simple change, and you can figure it out by looking at it.

Added another patch, this one sets the defaults when the config is saved (pretty important)

Newer VTE versions (see bug 1030562) modified the behavior, moving the responsibility of setting the current directory to the shell.

Once Terminator updates to use that, it wouldn't need to be a Terminator config option (although could be), but preferably you'd alter /etc/profile.d/vte.sh (or override its effect from your .profile/.bashrc) not to emit the OSC 7 escape sequene.
