🌟 Briefly describe the feature

Add support for arguments / switches to the"update" command

📝 Detailed description

Allow the "update" command to be run fully silently via arguments / switches passed directly into the command, ie. update --silent. Currently the CHOICE variable dictates the start of the update script; if this could be passed when running the update script, the only other things to consider would be prompts from the update process (such as restarting services as asked by APT) and any potential individual application prompts.

💡 Why is this useful?

Allows users to create cronjobs or ansible scripts targeting specific LXCs for an application update where applicable. By adding supported arguments / switches, the update process would be made much more convenient.

Nope Not directly. If Breaking Scripts it Breaks. In next time a Big refactor of core are available, then some Users can use another Script (created before an snapshot)
