Fixes a memory leak in task problem monitor.

Overview

It seems a problem matcher can be added to a terminal again, e.g. when re-running a task, this function would be called again with the same terminal since terminals are reused between tasks

addTerminal(terminal: ITerminalInstance, problemMatcher: AbstractProblemCollector) {
	this.terminalMarkerMap.set(terminal.instanceId, {
		resources: new Map<string, URI>(),
		markers: new Map<string, Map<string, IMarkerData>>()
	});

	const store = new DisposableStore();
	this.terminalDisposables.set(terminal.instanceId, store); 

This line this.terminalDisposables.set(terminal.instanceId, store) registers the store for the terminal, but doesn't dispose the previous registered store if there is one.

Change

The change is to use a DisposableMap which ensures the already registered disposable gets disposed if there is one.

Before

When running a task 97 times, the number of functions grows by each time in several places, one of which is task problem monitor.

    }
  ],
  "isLeak": true
}

After

Still various possible memory leaks are detected. But not in taskProblemMonitor anymore.
