Added more offline functionality, such as skipping package search (#1296)

* Added more offline functionality, such as skipping package search

* Disabled list_mirrors() from going online if --offline is given. Defaults to /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist instead.

* Forgot import of pathlib

* Made list_mirrors() open /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist in byte mode to better emulate the result of urllib response reading.

* Forgot variable declaration

* Made list_mirrors include activated server definitions
