Description

My actions before raising this issue

Expected Behaviour

PR #2377 will allow to not copy files inside CVAT when creating a task using share files.
It should be possible to do it through cli too.

Current Behaviour

Impossible to use the cli to not copy files inside CVAT when creating a task using share files.

Possible Solution

Implement the use of cli to not copy files inside CVAT when creating a task using share files.

Context

I use the CLI to automatically add a large number of video tasks to CVAT.
Currently, all this data is copied in CVAT, even if it is freely available in the CVAT share folder (that is a Minio bucket on the same server); hence using double space "for nothing".
Not copying the data would allow to avoid wasting space and speed the upload of tasks on CVAT.
I mentioned my situation here and @Marishka17 asked me to create an issue concerning it.
