Don't force immediate interactive without `-i` (#354)

* Don't force immediate interactive without -i

Sometimes we might want to use a reverse prompt but we want to let the
model generate tokens right after the initial prompt. So we don't force
user input mode if the -i flag wasn't specified and instead let it run
until we encounter the reverse prompt.

This gives use some more flexibility, since it doesn't force the user to
enter a newline if they want to let the model generate text right after
the initial prompt and only be asked for input if the reverse prompt is
encountered.

The `--interactive-first` flag is reintroduced to force the old
behavior. `-r` behaves like `-i` plus introduces a reverse prompt (it
can be specified more than once).

* Update help output.
