bin/xduplic-terminal: New script: start terminals for `xduplic-copier'.

While `xduplic-copier' is awesome, it doesn't work with terminal
emulators built against GTK 3 for bogus `security' reasons.  Also,
typically, I want to start lots of terminals starting out doing slightly
different things.

Anyway, this is a simple which opens a bunch of suitable terminals based
on tags provided on the command line.
