This patch introduces the TOOT_VISIBILITY environment variable, which sets the default visibility value. This affects:

- CLI post (can be overriden by switch)
- CLI reblog (ditto)
- TUI post (can be overriden in TUI)
- TUI reblog (no override yet)

Feel free to change to a more modern config thingy. `~/.config/toot/toot.yml` maybe?

Thanks!

I changed the name to TOOT_POST_VISIBILITY. In the future I plan to support
overriding any commandline option by settings TOOT_<command>_<option>
variable so this change makes it compatible with future plans.
