Fix: Install Vesta from source repository instead of apt/dnf

The official Vesta packages may not support modern distributions
(Ubuntu 24.04, Debian 12, RHEL 9). Changed all modern installers
to clone the Vesta repository from GitHub and install from source.

Changes:
- Ubuntu: Clone from GitHub if not running from local repo
- Debian: Same approach, removed apt-get install vesta
- RHEL: Same approach, removed dnf install vesta

The installer now:
1. Checks if running from a cloned repository
2. If not, clones from GitHub to /tmp/vesta-repo
3. Copies binaries, web files, functions, and templates
4. Ensures git is installed as a dependency
