Enable offline install of labs projects (#2049)

## Changes
<!-- Summary of your changes that are easy to understand -->
This PR makes changes to the labs code base to allow for offline
installation of labs projects (like UCX). By passing a flag
--offline=true, the code will skip checking for project versions and
download code from GitHub and instead will look from the local
installation folder. This cmd is useful in systems where there is
internet restriction, the user should follow a set-up as follows:

- install a labs project on a machine which has internet
- zip and copy the file to the intended machine and 
- run databricks labs install <project name>--offline=true
it will look for the code in the same install directory and if present
load from there.


Closes #1646 

related to https://github.com/databrickslabs/ucx/issues/3418
## Tests
<!-- How is this tested? -->

Added unit test case and tested.

NO_CHANGELOG=true
