feat: improve PowerShell terminal command completion detection

- Add PowerShellPromptDetector module for enhanced prompt pattern detection
- Add CompletionMarkers module for explicit START/END command markers
- Integrate both detection methods into TerminalProcess
- Add configuration options for users to enable/disable features
- Add comprehensive tests for new functionality

This addresses timing issues with PowerShell terminal command completion
detection by providing two complementary approaches:
1. Enhanced prompt detection that recognizes various PowerShell prompts
2. Explicit completion markers that wrap commands with START/END markers

Fixes #8446
