Optionally disable the default behavior of browserViz() of opening the page automatically?

[sklarame]

Thank you for developing BrowserViz and igvR! I am trying to use the library to programmably plot genomic diagrams on RStudio Server on a remote lab server where all TCP ports except those for ssh and RStudio Server are blocked by the firewall. I noticed that a BrowserViz() or igvR() always opens the page using the user's browser and freezes to wait for the connection, which will definitely be blocked in my environment. However, running a browser in headless mode from an ssh terminal on the server solved the problem and I did save the resulting diagram by calling igvR::saveToSVG(), although it was a little bit awkward. So it would be helpful for those remote server users if it is possible to disable the opening-and-waiting behavior by certain arguments to the functions. Thanks!
