Issue: Links to files starting with ./ do not work correctly
Labels: bug,terminal-links

Type: <b>Bug</b>

1) Connect to some remote machine.
2) Create a folder, for example "tmp";
3) Create a file in this folder, for example "tmp/text.txt" (you can add some data if you want, it won't change the behavior);
4) Open this folder in vscode;
5) Type `echo "./text.txt:1"` in terminal;
When clicking (with alt) on the `./text.txt:1` part of the command, the file will not be found. When clicking on the echo output, the file is sometimes found, sometimes not.
"text.txt:1" or absolute path works fine.

Note: line number doesn't matter (for example, if I have a file with 100 lines and the link points to line 22, it still won't work).

If you want, you can use this script to automate the file creation:
```bash
mkdir tmp
touch tmp/text.txt
echo "line 1
line 2" >> tmp/text.txt
```

The reason this is important: some extensions use the syntax like in my example (TestMate for example) and it stopped working/never worked.
