Issue Description

When I use the integrated console with version 2020.4.0 of the extension, and I am connected to a remote server using PowerShell remoting, file path autocompletion does not run in the remote session.

I type "cd ", then the first few letters of the file path, then hit Tab, and nothing happens. I expect it to start autocompleting the file path when I hit Tab.

• File path autocompletion works when accessing the local file system (i.e. when not using remoting).
• It works when using remoting if I set "powershell.integratedConsole.useLegacyReadLine" to true.
• It also works when using remoting in the initial console that VS Code loads (as opposed to the "PowerShell Integrated Console").

This problem does not happen when using version 2020.3.0 of the extension.

I believe that this issue was introduced in the 2020.3.1-preview release, because it works for me in 2020.3.0-preview but not in 2020.3.1-preview.

The log entries for a successful use of autocompletion with 2020.3.0-preview look like this:

This could be a PSReadLine bug. Can you try downgrading to the latest stable PSReadLine:

Just to get you unblocked... you can remove this folder:

C:\Users\[YOUR USER]\.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.powershell-2020.4.0\modules\PSReadLine\

NOTE: If you're on insiders it's \.vscode-insiders\

If your console doesn't give you syntax highlighting, simply reinstall PSReadLine the normal way:

Install-Module PSReadLine -Force -AllowClober

If I remove the PSReadLine directory and restart VS Code, then the integrated console reverts to using the default PSReadLine 2.0.0, and autocomplete starts working again.

However, if I put the PSReadLine directory in my ~\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules directory and then launch Windows Terminal or the legacy PowerShell command line app, they load version 2.1.0 of PSReadLine and are still able to perform file path autocompletion when using remoting.

This makes me think that it may be an interaction between the newer PSReadLine and this extension, rather than a bug in the newer PSReadLine per se.
