Subject: [PATCH] shelley: pass working directory to xterm terminal URL

Prompt: Change the Shelley.json file generation to include this flag with a placeholder WORKING_DIR and change Shelley to have replacement for this parameter in its menu handling.

The terminal_url in shelley.json now includes '?d=WORKING_DIR' placeholder.
When the user clicks the Terminal button in Shelley's menu, the WORKING_DIR
placeholder is replaced with the current conversation's working directory
(URL-encoded), so the terminal opens in the correct directory.
