Support launching VS Code from Bash on Ubuntu on Windows
Problem
- VSCode Version: Unpacked and installed "code_1.5.3-1474533365_amd64.deb" - OS Version: Windows 10 with WSL, latest patched. Steps to Reproduce: (NOTE: I am running Xming on my Windows 10 host, and have "export DISPLAY=:0" set in my .bashrc file) 1. Open Bash on Ubuntu on Windows 2. Type "code" and press ENTER. Expected result: Code launches in a GUI window. Actual result: Absolutely nothing happens. There is no output. The prompt just returns in a couple of seconds.

+1E99 Support for this such that vscode uses the bash terminal for everything would be great. I don't want to see, touch or smell the windows terminal. Every shell out directed to bash for windows please.
