lei q: disable remote externals if locals exist

--remote should be explicitly enabled if local externals are
present, since users may be offline or on expensive + metered
Internet while traveling.

In the future, --remote will probably default to
caching/memoizing all messages it fetches to increase the
usefulness of --local.
