What is the problem that this PR addresses?
Closes #313
The issue relates to the default behavior of certain prompts in the questionary library. Currently, when a user selects an option in prompts like select, rawselect, or checkbox, the displayed options disappear immediately after selection. This behavior can make it difficult for users to review the available or selected options.
How did you solve it?
I added a new feature in the form of an optional flag keep_options_displayed to the following prompts:
select
rawselect
checkbox
Feature added:
If keep_options_displayed=True, the options remain displayed after the selection is made.
If keep_options_displayed=False (default behavior), the options disappear immediately after the selection.
