Description
Currently we have one flag Configuration.InitializeDOS that enables or disables all custom interrupt handlers.
This is not going to work if we want to load another operating system but keep the emulated bios for example.
Suggestion by @maximilien-noal :
This could be an option group:
https://github.com/commandlineparser/commandline/wiki/Verbs
for example:
Spice86 --initialize bios dos

Research direction
Start by locating Configuration.InitializeDOS and the command-line configuration handling implied by the proposed --initialize bios dos syntax. Determine how BIOS and DOS interrupt handlers are currently grouped, then define separate initialization choices; done means the emulator can keep BIOS handlers while selectively enabling DOS handlers and the option behavior is covered.
