ipc: add --no-ipc flag to completely disable IPC
Running aerc mailto:... and aerc mbox:... can be confusing; if there's
another aerc instance already open, the action will be performed in the
other instance, which may not be visible. Add a --no-ipc flag that runs
these actions, and aerc-internal commands (i.e., aerc :<command>), in
the new aerc instance instead.
Also, if --no-ipc is passed, don't listen on a socket for IPC calls from
other aerc instances.
Changelog-added: Add `--no-ipc` flag to run `aerc mailto:...`,
`aerc mbox:...`, and `aerc :<command...>` within the current aerc
instance and prevent listening for IPC calls from other aerc instances.
