Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/560

I use Spotipy in some scripts that I am running remotely ssh'd into servers where I don't have access to a browser. It looks like the auth flow is attempting to auto-open a browser, but nothing happens. My current workaround is to run the script and complete the auth flow locally and paste the resulting url + code back into the terminal.

Since I know ahead of time that I won't have access to a browser, and because there's already an open_browser variable passed around during the auth flow, I'd love to be able to set this up front when instantiating the auth_manager so that instead of it trying to open a browser and failing, it would just give me the auth url so I could open it myself.
