This feature makes sense to add because the use case of the :term command is very similar to :! or :make, both of which automatically write all modified buffers when the autowrite option is set.

Existing autocmd mechanisms such as autocmd TerminalOpen * wa cannot properly fulfill this need, as they save files only after the terminal has started.

Moreover, this change is very small and minimally invasive.
