Description

Adds a -R / --random flag for anime discovery mode (closes #1601).

When you don't know what to watch, ani-cli -R fetches a random page of popular anime from AllAnime and presents them in the fzf/rofi selection menu. Once you pick one, the normal episode selection flow takes over.

Didn't we used to have something like this, which was scrapped due to not being used?
