Expose a terminal

[yyoncho]

As an alternative to GUI emacs we might add an option to run TUI emacs. This can be done either by https://githubplus.com/yudai/gotty or by https://github.com/butlerx/wetty

Hi, I'm impressed how you implement Emacs in gitpod. And I had other idea is run Emacs on terminal by using tmate.io without browser. That is my example https://github.com/txgvnn/gitpod
Some features:

• Send tmate session to telegram channel. I think in the future Gitpod support ssh session directly, so it will be perfect
• Store Emacs configs to /workspace then link $HOME/.emacs* to /workspace to help keep emacs packages, cache,..
• Run Emacs daemon

Indeed @TxGVNN this dances with custom browser and C-n stuff are quite annoying. Although tmate and tmux itself ain't too stable. Session crashes from time to time.
Also the network latency.
Would be ideal to run the local gitpod on the closest available server with appropriate hardware (GPUs for AI/ML stuff for instance).

@aahutsal for C-n issue you may try Nyxt browser with application-mode enabled

@aahutsal As I see, Gitpod supported ssh connection.

Yeah, I discovered it, thank you. It's a bit tricky (e.g. ssh -XY doesn't work, means it does not X forwarding). But I will apparently play with it!
