Suggestion: Add an option('-o --open' for example) to open browser window after starting the server

Hi, I really apprecite this server tool you built, which has elegant ui in modern style. Especially servewon't treats./publicunder root directory as default serving path, this is why I start to useserveinstead ofhttp-server`.

However, it seems both tools have own advantage. http-server support configuring opening browser window after starting server , but serve doesn't support. So I propose that serve can add this feature. Thanks.

That feature request has been raised before in https://github.com/zeit/serve/pull/454, https://github.com/zeit/serve/issues/425, and https://github.com/zeit/serve/pull/116, which were closed in the interest of keeping things simple. Since serve is not particularly simple now (has copy to clipboard enabled by default, flags to use certificates, etc.) I wonder if the maintainers might reconsider adding a flag that calls opn or open or some other library for opening urls? If so I'd be happy to go ahead and put in the PR.
