We need to permit users to pass options directly to hyper/Electron bin.

For example: hyper --ignore-gpu-blacklist

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Hyper currently processes command line arguments (likely in the main process entry file, e.g., app/index.ts or similar). Look for existing CLI argument parsing logic, possibly using yargs or commander. The objective is to add a mechanism to pass through arbitrary flags to the Electron binary. Consider using 'electron flags' or similar approach. Check any existing discussions or linked PRs in the issue comments for implementation ideas.
