Current evaluation

Feature request to add --detach/--bg flag for asynchronous remote-build. Discussed among maintainers but not yet implemented.

Suggested action: needs triage

Reason: This is a feature request that has been discussed by maintainers (@steinbro, @jnsgruk) who agreed a --bg/--detach flag would be useful, but no implementation has started and the issue has no labels. The last maintainer comment was 49 days ago requesting more context on use cases. Needs triage to determine implementation priority and design.

Issue body

### What needs to get done Given the queue length and speed for some architectures, remote-build should exit immediately after uploading and submitting the job. The user should be presented with a URL to open to check the build status, and the followup command to execute to fetch the result. A new argument like `--wait` could be used if the user wants the current behavior. ### Why it needs to get done A blocking command is reasonable for actions that are expected to take seconds or minutes, not hours or days.
