Change "docket images" CI/CD task to build for fewer architectures

[yurishkuro]

Requirement

As a developer I like CI/CD runs to take as little time as possible.

Problem

"Build docker images" workflow takes 30min now, because it builds binaries and images for all possible architectues.

Proposal

Consider reducing the number of architectures built for PRs, and only keep the full set for the main branch / release workflow.

Personally I would limit the PR builds to linux/amd86 architecture.

Hi @yurishkuro, Could you give a brief about what changes would be a part of this ticket? I am looking to contribute to an issue for my academic requirement. I have already picked #4163 and will be working on it this week but the instructor has also mentioned picking something that would require a good amount of time to finish. Will this be a good issue? Or if there is some other issue you can assign me that as well.

[yurishkuro]

@shubbham1215 the change would be mostly refactoring shell scripts / Makefile to pass fewer arch params to the docker build process. Around a week of work, including ramp-up.

good amount of time to finish

what amount of time do you want to allocate?

[shubbham1215]

Okay. I think this issue is fine as it would require me much more than a week to finish it. Could you assign me this as well? Thanks.
