Adds an optional --backend/-b flag to build, serve, and watch, which, when given, causes only the specified back-ends to run, as supposed to all configured back ends. This flag may be given multiple times.

This is a fully backwards-compatible change: The default behavior of all the commands listed above is not changed.

Requested here:

#2648

This is useful for backends such as linkcheck, allowing them to be temporarily disabled while developing documentation.

First-time contributor. Let me know if you want things changed or done differently :)

Cheers!
