Description
When using the python extension, one can launch an interactive jupyter interpreter, select an R kernel there, and execute R commands interactively, but trying to use it as Rterm doesn't work - for example, if I have the following file set as Rterm, it fails to start it:
#!/usr/bin/env sh
jupyter console --kernel=ir
Would be ideal if one could use that as the R terminal in this extension, since it's a more handy environment - e.g. it allows clicking some piece of text and moving the edit focus there, which the plain terminal and radian don't do.

Research direction
Start at the Rterm configuration entry point and reproduce the failure with the shown shell script, jupyter console --kernel=ir, and the Python extension. Done means a configured Jupyter R kernel starts as the extension's R terminal and supports the interactive editing behavior described in the issue.
