Another way to load snippets but don't need to call wget everytime

for example, if we need to load some scripts from OMZ. Bascaly we will do

# OMZ Framework
# this is the original method
# zi snippet OMZ::lib/completion.zsh
# zi snippet OMZ::lib/history.zsh
# zi snippet OMZ::lib/key-bindings.zsh
# zi snippet OMZ::lib/theme-and-appearance.zsh
# this is the key to use multiple points on `cd .....` to back to multiple directories.
# zi snippet OMZ::lib/directories.zsh

then, zinit official give another way (already replace with zi)

# this is copied from zinit 
# zi ice depth"1" multisrc="lib/{functions,misc}.zsh" pick"/dev/null"
# zi load robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh

we know it's an array, so we can do this

# use array
necessary_omz_libs=(
    lib/completion.zsh
    lib/history.zsh
    lib/key-bindings.zsh
    lib/theme-and-appearance.zsh
    lib/directories.zsh
    lib/functions.zsh
    lib/git.zsh
    lib/grep.zsh
    lib/compfix.zsh
    lib/termsupport.zsh
    lib/nvm.zsh
    lib/misc.zsh
)
zi lucid for \
    depth"1" \
    multisrc"$necessary_omz_libs" \
    pick"/dev/null" \
    from"{{ choose_github_mirror() }}" \
    ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh

{{ choose_github_mirror() }} is an jinja2 template. I use ansible to build .zshrc and choose mirror in China. So it's optional.

Also, load OMZ plugins can be:

zi lucid wait for \
    multisrc"plugins/extract/*.zsh" \
    pick"/dev/null" \
    from"{{ choose_github_mirror() }}" \
    ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh

The reason why I find the way is that call wget/curl to download script is too slow, and it will be more slower when snippets become more and more. Especially in China (even using mirror), using git to update is also faster than call wget/curl everytime.
