Can not pass options to the script executed by ipython #20

Description

@egilewski

Unlike the default Flask shell, this one allows to specify a script to execute, just like outside of Flask do ipython script.py and python script.py. However passing options to a script invoked that way may require a preceding -- separator, which is being dropped by click library and never makes it to IPython.start_ipython(argv=ipython_args,

Demonstration:

$ echo 'import sys; print(sys.argv)' >script.py

Works as expected:

$ flask shell script.py --test test
[TerminalIPythonApp] WARNING | Unrecognized alias: 'test', it will have no effect.
['/usr/src/script.py']

Doesn't work as expected:

$ flask shell script.py -- --test test
[TerminalIPythonApp] WARNING | Unrecognized alias: 'test', it will have no effect.
['/usr/src/script.py']

Expected result in the second case:

$ flask shell script.py -- --test test
['/usr/src/script.py', '--test', 'test']

It seems that the required feature is missing in click, though may be added in pallets/click#2205 (see also pallets/click#619 and pallets/click#1340).

I realize that this may not have been a planned feature, but this would be a nice extra thing that the default Flask shell doesn't offer.
