pass options to enable container without having to go through cli prompt - takeout

I love that idea! :) Do you think you could propose a syntax?

I can help with a PR if there is any specific syntax in mind.

no worries.

the syntax, good question. kinda subjective i think. personally i'm a big fan of two things: intuitive, but also following a used consensus. i guess it'd be nice to have both. like the typical -p for port, etc..., and something more intuitive too (in the case of port, well, like --port, which in this case is also the consensus 😅️). i'll do more research and come back to you. (currently i'm automatically printing the port i need in a terminal panel and starting takeout in another one. i still have to choose manually but i have all the info i need so it's still pretty straightforward.)

Maybe a possible solution to this would be something like takeout taste-test, which is almost the same as takeout enable in that it runs you through the prompts, but then instead of actually executing the docker run command it just echos it out to the terminal. Someone could then just copy-paste that into their automation scripts and modify as needed.

@wunc We could certainly enable that using something like --dry-run to any of the commands. That doesn't perfectly solve this issue, but it would help.
