Allow running scripts locally (without unnecessary external content)

[tcarreira]

It would be straight forward to git clone this repo and the run intended script directly.

Unfortunately, most script are currently sourcing content from the internet, like

source <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/misc/build.func)

I think it would be nice if I could just run/modify my local files and trust it is using the local files for everything.

( I can contribute, but I would like to know if the community feels the same first)

You can do this by cloning it to a local repository.
The external files have the basic functions that are used by most/all scripts.
This way, it's easier to make new scripts or update basic functions just once.

Edit:
This also makes it easier to check the scripts for malicious code.
When build.func (or one of the two other reused scripts) gets an update, that the time to be on high alert.

malicious code.

Were there already such cases?
