dev.Dockerfile: allow skipping build of the web UI

[ZZiigguurraatt]

We now run make go-install-noui and make go-install-cli-noui when
the NO_UI build arg is set to 1 to skip building of the web UI when
using the development docker container. If the NO_UI build arg is not
set, make go-install and make go-install-cli are run as before the
NO_UI build arg existed.

The Makefile also had to be slightly modified to support this feature.

This feature allows quicker rebuilding when using docker if you aren't doing anything with the web UI.

Looks good, thanks. Just one request.

[ZZiigguurraatt]

fixed some bugs

[ZZiigguurraatt]

OK, everything works, but there is one really weird thing. It is about 11% faster if I build with the UI !

With UI

You can see with UI it takes an extra 94.8 seconds to run yarn install && yarn build but make is much faster.

tACK, LGTM 🎉

Weird that the build times differ. For me the NO_UI=1 build was quicker (4m36s vs 5m3s). But the actual Golang compilation part also took longer on the no-ui build.
Not sure why that would be. But it does depend on downloading Golang dependencies from the internet, perhaps it's just variation on network latency?

I have noticed some variability too, but it seems like the no-ui version is always longer.

Whatever the issue is, I think it would need to be considered as part of a separate issue/PR, because I think what I've done here makes sense.
