Add a CLI option to open specified files in JBrowse desktop

JBrowse 1 desktop electron app might have had something similar to this : pass it a directory and have it open in the application through the cmd line

Basic idea: kind of like some command line operations allow you to open files in applications installed on your computer (like, code myfile.txt opens in VSCode) add a jbrowse command to open specified files directly in the jbrowse desktop application, e.g.,jbrowse open my-bam.bam, hg19 or perhaps jbrowse open my-jbrowse-session.jbrowse

options could be similar to those available from the url query api
