Console entry point without GUI

[redruin1]

Hi, very nice tool you've made - the GUI is very nice and convenient. However, I'm wondering if it would be in any way possible to forgo the GUI for more integration-like behavior; e.g:

> factorio-mod-downloader --headless --url "https://example.com/" --path "some/destination/folder"

Which would do the same thing as the application but without the visual, probably printing the log to stdout.

Additionally, I would also like to request the ability to point to a file containing a list of urls, similar to how requirements.txt works for Python:

> cat "mod-urls.txt"

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/pymodpack
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/cybersyn
(etc.)

> factorio-mod-downloader --headless --modlist "./mod-urls.txt" --path "some/destination/folder"

This would allow you to make a single "configuration file" that you could point to in order to specify a custom modpack and download them all from one single command.

Hi @redruin1 Thanks for the suggestion, it a really good suggestion. However, it would have been easy to implement, but I didn't think about such features in the start, and my app is more revolved around the UI. So, adding a direct cli, will take a little more time to implement. I will do it if I get time.

I'm also willing to write a PR myself if that would be helpful. Should I base it off of main or of PR #15?
