Subject: [PATCH 3/3] fix(functions): avoid spurious warning for inst_simple -H

If hostonly mode is enabled, a possible -H option is shifted out before
processing the numbered arguments. If -H was passed and hostonly mode disabled,
inst_simple would treat "-H" as a non-existing file and return an error code,
skipping the actual file. The previous commit added a warning about missing
source files, leading to spurious warnings with -H.

Instead, explicitly skip inst_simple calls with -H if hostonly mode is
disabled, and log a debug level message.
