CLI: `--save`/`--dir` doesn't work when `--exit` is specified

[jorupp]

Product: cli

Expectation: Should be able to use --exit and --save/--dir on the same call.

Actual: When both are specified, --exit works, but --save/--dir seems to be ignored.

Motivation: As part of my CI process, I'd like to have axe fail my build, but still get the detailed JSON file to include in reports.

axe-core version: 4.6.1
@axe-core/cli: 4.6.0

- Node version: 18.12.1
- Platform:  Windows

This doesn't write file.json:

axe https://google.com --save file.json --exit

This writes file.json:

axe https://google.com --save file.json

Hey @jorupp,

Thanks for reporting this issue.

Apologies for the delay - I have confirmed this issue is still apparent on our latest version.

We will prioritise a fix for this, in the mean time feel free to open a PR to remedy this if you'd like.

Validated with the latest canary build (axe-core/cli_4.7.4-alpha.406) .
With the earlier, after scanning a page with the options (--save/dir along with --exit) page is scanning but results are not getting saved into specific file/folder. (see the screenshot)

Not in the latest canary it got fixed and page is scanned successfully along with both the options and the results are getting saved properly in specifed file/folder.
