Spice up default prompt #6375

So our default prompt is

a simple "user@host prompt_pwd >".

I'd like to spice this thing up a bit. In particular I would like to add:

  • Vcs integration

  • Only displaying user@host if we detect SSH or a VM (via systemd-detect-virt or whatever)

The latter especially is most useful if it is part of the default, because that way you can have no hostname on your home machine and hostnames on remote machines, without having to configure any of them.

And whatever else anyone can think of. The idea here is that we offer a nice experience out of the box.
