Feature: AWS SSO "--no-browser" option

[lsowen]

For various reasons such as not wanting to use the system default browser, wanting to open the SSO link in a specific Firefox Containers container, etc, it would be useful to be able to optionally only print the VerificationUriComplete instead of only showing it if open.Run() fails. My suggestion would be to add a new --no-browser or similar option that could be used to trigger this behaviour (with the default being the current widely useful "auto-open" method).

Once the link is opened once, it cannot be re-used, so currently there is no way to grab the link before it has been used the first time (unless the default URL handling browser fails to open or is missing)

Lines 129 to 132 in 8a679cf

	fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Opening the SSO authorization page in your default browser (use Ctrl-C to abort)\n%s\n", aws.StringValue(deviceCreds.VerificationUriComplete))
	if err := open.Run(aws.StringValue(deviceCreds.VerificationUriComplete)); err != nil {
	log.Printf("Failed to open browser: %s", err)
	}

did anyone find a good workaround?
for the 'aws' cli, setting BROWSER to /usr/bin/echo is supposedly a good solution ( aws/aws-cli#5301 ), doesnt seem to work for 'aws-vault'

Ok apparently the "--stdout" flag now does exactly this
