Integrated Console fails to load when Newtonsoft.Json fails to parse valid settings.json

[brettpostin]

Issue Description

With the following in settings.json:

    "files.exclude": {
        "**/*.js": {"when": "$(basename).ts"}
    },

The PowerShell Integrated Console fails to load, it just hangs before reaching the command prompt. Removing the above setting fixes the issue, however it is a valid setting to hide generated .js files in a typescript project.

Logs

In EditorServices.log:
