📄 Description

When attempting to authenticate via spotipy.util.prompt_for_user_token() in a headless environment (where webbrowser fails), it's not currently possible to authenticate.

These small changes allow open_browser=False to be passed to instead print out the authentication URL so that it can be accessed in another environment where a browser is accessible.

First PR here, feedback appreciated!

Fixes #792
