Terminals do not provide an easy way to "push/pop" window titles, so we're basically stuck with clearing the window title when mongosh exits on a best-effort basis. When somebody brings this up as an issue, we should still recommend them to include something in their shell's .rc file to automatically reset window titles after each shell command.

Pull request overview
This PR clears the terminal window title when mongosh exits to prevent the mongosh-set title from persisting after the application closes. The change adds a call to setTerminalWindowTitle('') in the exit handler to reset the title on a best-effort basis.
