feat: add detach provider field and vim.g.preview config support (#42)

Browse source 
Problem: viewer processes launched via a string[] `open` command were
always killed on buffer deletion with no way to opt out. Configuring
the plugin also required an explicit `setup()` call in a `config`
hook, preventing config from being declared before the plugin loads.

Solution: add a `detach` boolean to `ProviderConfig` that skips
SIGTERM on buffer unload. Auto-call `setup()` from `vim.g.preview`
at module load time, enabling config via lazy.nvim's `init` hook.
Update vimdoc and README accordingly.

SETUP *preview.nvim-setup*
Load preview.nvim with your package manager. For example, with lazy.nvim: >lua
With lazy.nvim, set |vim.g.preview| in `init` so configuration is applied
before the plugin loads: >lua

'barrettruth/preview.nvim',
init = function()
vim.g.preview = { typst = true, latex = true }

Call |preview.setup()| to configure providers before use.
Alternatively, call |preview.setup()| directly in a `config` function or
anywhere the plugin is already loaded.
