Optional speed up to chezmoi doctor

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When using chezmoi doctor on a machine without internet access, it takes a long time to return (30sec).

I assume this is because the latest-version check has to timeout in order to fail.

Describe the solution you'd like

A command line flag to the doctor command telling doctor to do no internet requests, for example "--no-network".

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • An alternative could be in the doctor command to get rid of the latest-version test altogether, but this might break the expectations of the "normal" user who has internet access.

  • An alternative option name could be --fast, which in future could cover other doctor checks which take in some special environments unreasonably long.

Additional context

One problem with a --no-network flag is what to print in the output when no internet request was made. I suggest "not checked".
