Currently uses bat which adds a dependency. Would be much better to use $PAGER
and fall back to cat which should be on most (if not all) systems

Do this the same way as editor where the user can specify a flag which overrides
the environment variable

I am reluctant to make the pager use the environment variable by default because
bat cannot be set as the pager:
https://github.com/sharkdp/bat/pull/1343

Instead, I will use bat if it's available, then fall back to the pager variable

If the pager is specified with a flag, this will take precidence
