typst CLI arguments position change

Issue

Since https://github.com/kaarmu/typst.vim/issues/13 and https://github.com/kaarmu/typst.vim/issues/23, it seems that the CLI of typst has changed which makes it impossible to specify a root for the typst project.

Solution

Note that a PR was opened with a potential fix: https://github.com/kaarmu/typst.vim/pull/91

As of typst version 0.11.0, the arguments should be placed after the watch argument just like this:

typst watch <args> --open <app_to_use> <typst_file>

Hence, a command should look like this:

typst watch --root ~ --open sioyek main.typ

I am not that familiar with the architecture of this plugin, but I believe simply swapping lines 7 and 8 in the following file should fix this issue.
