Docker build-arg for BALENA_MACHINE_NAME instead of using Dockerfile.template

Hey there

Pytest performance is approximately ~5x faster on my laptop using genericx86 as apposed to running on via livepush and I no longer need to have a balena device in hand which is great for on the go development.

Can you please elaborate on how you are developing with a genericx64 device locally?

Perhaps you can have 2 fleets with different device types and you would use the genericx86-64-ext fleet for developing.

You can add a VM or even run a container on your laptop and that would act as a genericx86-64-ext device. You can even livepush to it.

Here are some links you might find helpful:

Thanks
