Revert "Merge the --invisible and --headless options"
Stephan told about the intended use case for --invisible, and it does sound like a plausible use case, so let's revert this. "ah, now that I see 4fe56f3b9af814430a28a1880799f450fb8146b9: one use case for invisible + !headless might be in workflows where external code keeps a LO instance running and lets it pop up document windows, but you don't want the initial start center thing I think that's historically where the --invisible thing is coming from, now that I vaguely remember again" This reverts commit 4fe56f3b9af814430a28a1880799f450fb8146b9.
