terminals do not work on windows for gdbgui 0.14+

[cs01]

Describe the bug Python does not support pseudoterminals (for example, import pty on windows fails) on windows.

As of gdbgui v0.14, pty's are used in the backend, and thus cannot support windows in newer versions with pty's until either

• Python supports ptys on windows (or a 3rd party package is found that does)
• the gdbgui backend is rewritten in node or rust (not planned)

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run gdbgui v0.14+ on windows
2. Observe error

Expected behavior gdbgui runs normally

Workaround Run on Unix or use gdbgui version 0.13.x or lower.

This might work with https://pypi.org/project/pywinpty/. Need to investigate.
