Avoid/Control clear-screen behaviour

[silverwind]

Clear and concise description of the problem

Since #2228 vitest clears the screen in both watch and non-watch mode which I find rather disturbing because it removes potentially useful information from commands that ran before.

#2070 specifically only requested the clear-screen only for watch mode so I think the implementation forgot about non-watch mode.

Suggested solution

I would suggest to never clear the screen when in non-watch mode and make the behaviour of the clear in watch mode configurable, like vite does via the clearScreen option.

Thanks.

Vitest already respects clearScreen option

I don't see this option documented in either --help or on https://vitest.dev/config/. Are the docs missing?

[sheremet-va]

It’s an option in Vite config (since Vitest extends Vite config, it inherits the same options), its not available ad a CLI option.
