Corrected bug where starting AstroVR with HMD connected resulted in an automatic VR start even if desktop was selected. Changes: AstroVR now accepts "-novr" as a command line argument. May still start the Vive Console application when XR not running. Audio may go to the HMD, depending on external settings. Starting Astro in VR when no XR subsytem is already running can result in an incorrect floor height. Restart AstroVR with SteamVR already running.
