📄 Description

This adds a new option open_browser in get_auth_response which, if False, will simply print the authorization URL and ask the user to visit it and paste the URL is has been redirected to (existing interactive way to get the authorization code). This allows the setup of Spotipy on a remote machine (e.g. Raspberry Pi or VPS) in a fully headless way.

open_browser defaults to True for backward compatibility.
