[FEATURE]: Command line parameter to not save settings file

[tiagodj]

Which tool

tidal-dl

Describe the feature

To have a parameter to skip saving the settings file.

Sometimes I want to download a single track, album, etc, but I don't want it to end up in my main library.

So I use the -o argument to point to another download folder, but this also overwrites the settings json file. If I forget to change it back to the previous value, my next downloads may end up in the wrong place.

This can also apply to other settings, for example if I want to download a different quality or video resolution.

This proposal is to add a new command line option, for example --skip-settings or --do-not-persist to avoid making any persistent changes on the other parameters I am using. (I am horrible with naming variables, you pick the name!).

Another option is to do the opposite: add a variable to persist the changes (--save), making it default to not do so. But this will make the app backwards incompatible, so it's up to you which way to go.
