FWIW, this was developed and tested on Ubuntu (on WSL) Likely worth a pull + test on other distro |

Description
Foreword
During development work for #668 I needed to test changes in docker. I have long had a separate set of changes for doing this but thought it time to finalise them in a PR.
TLDR
Add a sh script that builds your current feature branch as a tagged image to simplify testing changes in docker.
Recorded instructions in
docker/build-local.md- we can move this (or point to it) in main README if desired?Details
This pull request introduces a new workflow for building and testing the
device-agentDocker image from local code changes, making it easier to validate feature branches before publishing. The main additions include a local-testing Dockerfile, a helper build script, and documentation explaining the process.Local development and testing support:
docker/build-local.md, a guide explaining how to use the new script and Dockerfile for local testing, including instructions for customizing image names and tags.docker/Dockerfile.local, a Dockerfile variant that installs the@flowfuse/device-agentpackage from a locally built tarball instead of npm, enabling local feature branch testing.docker/build-local.sh, a script that automates packaging the local code withnpm pack, cleans up old tarballs, and builds a Docker image tagged according to the current git branch.Related Issue(s)
