Terminal: added basic conditional title patterns.

* You can now insert arbitrary text only if the following or previous
  placeholder does not resolve to an empty value using the %<, %> and
  %- placeholders.
* Additionally, any non-alpha numeric character between % and the
  placeholder character will only be displayed if the placeholder does
  not resolve to an empty value, too.
* All of this allows you to get rid of the extra space between
  "Terminal" and ":" before the current path -- which is now the
  default.
