Intent
Addresses #2648.
Approach
When starting the hidden terminal backing an R or Python Jupyter session, we now use the notebook's parent path (if known) as the process's current working directory.
QA Notes
I also dropped the full path from the notebook session names (because it was super unwieldy). Notebook session names are now just the notebook file's name.
