Ability to set default permissions / settings for sessions

[joelmagner]

Ability to set default permissions when opening a new session or when inviting specific contact.

• None/Read/Write on all terminals
• Share specific ports

Could perhaps be configured per session as a named session or per contact.

settings.json example

"liveshare.defaultPermissions": [
    {
       "terminals": "write",  // "enum[none, read, write]"
       "ports": [3001] // "array of open ports"
    }
]

or per contact:

"liveshare.defaultPermissions": [
    {
        "githubusername": {
           "terminals": "write",    
           "ports": [3001]
        },
        "[email protected]": {
            "terminals": "read", 
        },
       "default": {
            "terminals": "read",
            "ports": []
       }
    }
]

Hey @joelmagner, I'm not sure. @fubaduba, do we have plans for this?
