Hi

I've added the possibility to install rbenv and ruby-build from a tarball instead of git, since I'm deploying stuff on machines without internet access. Would you be interested in this? In this version I actually include the tarballs in the cookbook, which might be a bad idea, I'm going to look into changing it so it can be set up from a "wrapper" cookbook instead.

If you're interested in this functionality, I'll clean it up a bit and update this PR, otherwise I'll just hack it to work for me. So I wouldn't really recommend merging this in it's current shape.

I've now removed the tarballs from the commit and made it possible to use a wrapper cookbook with the actual files. If you want to merge this, I'll add some documentation in the README file how to do this.

@sPatrik sorry for the delayed response. It would be awesome if we had a way to extend rbenv installations to users who don't have internet access. I'm 👍 on the concept.

It should reach out to a remote_file instead of a cookbook_file, though. Chef doesn't like having large files stored in it.
