Description
Background, I'm doing some testing with https://github.com/jepsen-io/maelstrom and it requires a binary to execute. gleescript is working well to package the escript and run it with maelstrom. However, if I want to test different services I have to modify my `src/{project}.gleam` main function and create a new executable script. It would be cool if I could get effectively `gleam run -m my_module` (with its own main function) with gleescript via a `--module` flag (or something).
No worries if this is uninteresting. I'm able to proceed without it.

Research direction
Read the existing gleescript command-line options and executable-packaging flow, then compare the requested behavior with the Gleam project's `src/{project}.gleam` main function and the `gleam run -m my_module` example. Done means a `--module` option can select an alternate module with its own main function when producing an executable.
