Add a --no-detach option

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
This is an awesome project, however there is one use case where it is currently lacking. That is allowing to do cursed things such as setting your mpv variables to:
vo=kitty
or
vo=sixel
to run everything in the terminal, or do
vo=gpu
gpu-context=drm
such as this issue suggests in order to watch anime in the tty without a display server or compositor.
The blocker for both of these issues is in the pesky nohup that detaches the mpv process. In the first scenario the video isn't correctly shown and in the seccond the mpv controls don't work.
Describe the solution you'd like
By allowing to run in --no-detach mode we can finally watch anime on a production server with no graphical environment.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I can always modify the ani-cli script in order to do this madness, since it's only a line of code.
Though this issue is mostly a joke it would definitely be cool to be able to do this. Awesome project!
Someone actually implemented vo=kitty
I'm impressed, I think I requested that feature like 2 years ago at mpv and they didn't want to
