Feature description

Currently, service containers defined for the workflow seem to be only evaluated and brought up when the workflow is executed within the runner container. Specifying -P xyz=-self-hosted removes this convenience and requires additional measures to create the same execution context.

Since changing this behavior might end-up breaking current scripts, I'm thinking whether adding a new command line switch (e.g. --with-services, although I'm pretty sure someone far smarter than me can come up with a better name) to opt-into this convenience would be something the current maintainers might consider.

Happy to contribute myself, if the approach seems reasonable, I just wanted to test the waters first.
