Import archive via CLI without opening window

[yunfachi]

The mandatory opening of a window before importing an archive after executing the command osu! some_archive.osz hinders automation scripts for importing archives, especially in isolated environments (e.g., Nix derivation). Yes, this is a specific case, but is it really necessary to open a window when importing an archive via CLI? If the window cannot be opened, the import process won't start.

Here is the log when attempting to import an archive in a Nix derivation:

Out of scope IMO

No idea what a "nix derivation" is or why this matters.

This is just an example of an environment where there is no way to open the interface
