Description
Some editors allow to specify search pattern as a command line parameter. When editor opens the file it positions cursor at the found pattern and allows to search for next occurrences.
It would be great if micro would support command line arguments such as --find <regexp> and --find-literal <string>

Research direction
Start by locating micro's command-line argument handling and the code that opens a file and performs an initial search. Check how existing arguments are parsed and how literal versus regular-expression searches are represented. Done means the new --find and --find-literal arguments accept their values, position the cursor at the first match when opening a file, and allow subsequent occurrences to be searched.
