Add CLI parameter to hide meters #1744

Description

When running htop on systems with a high number of CPU cores (96+), the CPU meters occupy a significant portion of the screen. This leaves limited space for viewing the actual process information, which is often the primary reason for me using htop. Currently, I find myself immediately pressing Shift+3 after launching htop to hide these meters and gain more usable space for process table.

It will be nice to have a command-line option to start htop with the CPU meters already hidden, similar to other existing visibility options. A new flag like --no-meters would be consistent with other existing htop options such as --no-color and --no-unicode.

Would this be something the maintainers would consider implementing? I'd be happy to provide any additional information if needed or submit a PR.
