explicit request for HTML

[JacksonChen666]

currently, wttr.in uses user agent strings to determine the best response to return to the client.

by default, curl gets ANSI in response. but let's say, someone is trying to render the HTML instead of PNG because it's so low res.

the only option here is to change the user agent to something else that does not contain the keyword curl anywhere in the string of the user agent (not even spaces around curl work)

proposals (sorted from most preferred to least preferred of personal choice and misc.):

• a long argument (similar to lang arg) output_format or format which can = to PNG, HTML, ANSI, plain, JSON, etc.
• H argument for getting HTML (similar to using M for getting meter/s wind speeds)
• _arguments.html (similar to png format request)

all which ignore the user agent and returns HTML anyways.

Then why not add a mode? Or use https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in/blob/5782f4f53e1c22bf7b7d6eb7a83e37f976ae62a7/share/ansi2html.sh client-side?
