Description
(feature/improvement more than a bug I think?)
I was looking at having the mypy-daemon share its existence inside and outside of my editor, such as in vscode. But one thing I noticed is that vscode will pass in quite a few extra args:
--no-color-output --no-error-summary --show-absolute-path --show-column-numbers --show-error-codes --no-pretty --show-error-end
All except --show-error-codes --no-pretty will individually force the daemon to restart with Restarting: configuration changed. These all seem cosmetic, can the daemon avoid bouncing when these flags change?

Research direction
Start by tracing mypy-daemon argument and configuration handling for the listed output-formatting flags. Verify that changing these cosmetic options no longer restarts the daemon while the requested output behavior remains correct.
