Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Running the CLI produces a lightcone/coeval dataset, but no plots or anything tangible to look at. This can be a bit disconcerting, since by default the outputs are in the cache, which is kinda hidden, which means it might seem like the call did nothing at all. Outputting at least a lightcone/coeval default plot (and maybe xHI/global signal if appropriate) would at least assure the user that things ran OK, and give them a way to check what their options look like.
Describe the solution you'd like
Just a new --plot option, potentially with string options that it can take, specifying different plots to make.
Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative would be to have another CLI command 21cmfast plot which can be pointed at a particular lightcone in the cache. At the end of the 21cmfast lightcone command output, it could say something like "Use 21cmfast plot <file> to get plots!"
