Identify if focus is console or text editor via rstudioapi

[rjake]

I want to know if I'm currently in the console or in a text editor. I used to use getActiveDocumentContext() to determine this and either send code to the console or add the code to the file I am editing. Right now, running this function from the console and text editor return the same list of values. I see that $id has been identified as an issue (below), but not sure about the other items ($path, etc).

I saw these issues and PRs that seem related:

• Return NULL if context is NULL ark#237
• getActiveDocumentContext() not consistent with rstudioapi when no document is open #2191
• Support id in rstudioapi shims #2571 - focuses on $id
• OpenRPC for cursors/ranges rstudioapi shims #2582

I'm not sure how it all works under the hood but the VS Code context keys editorFocus and terminalFocus might be able to help.

Here's a comparison between Positron (great name btw) and RStudio

Yep, this is mostly the same as #2571, and we also will need to look at path at that time as well. We can leave this issue open for the examples to check. Thanks!

Side note: we do have the context key positronConsoleFocused which tells you if, as it says, the console is focused. You can use this today in keyboard shortcuts, tasks, etc like "when": "positronConsoleFocused" but don't currently expose this via the rstudioapi R package functions.
