[Bug 797048] cerbero: Implement --offline for package and build

[GStreamer (GNOME Bugzilla)]

The workflow is:

./cerbero-uninstalled fetch gstreamer-1.0

[copy local_sources to wherever you want]

./cerbero-uninstalled package --offline gstreamer-1.0

It's related to reproducible builds in practice because if you build cerbero
master that's going to pull in latest git. Fetch will update the git repo when
building even if the local_sources exist.

This also happens when building the stable branches like 1.14. The only time
this doesn't happen is when you build a specific tag like 1.14.2.

bundle-source is fine, but the git repos will *still* be updated when you
build, afaik. So this is the other part that's needed to make bundle-source
work as expected.
