Disable image push after build for a specific image

[GeertJohan]

I have a scenario where it would be very useful to disable image pushing for a specific image.
Given the following skaffold.yaml (excerpt):

apiVersion: skaffold/v3
kind: Config
build:
  artifacts:
    - image: base-build
      context: .
      docker:
        dockerfile: base/Dockerfile.build
    - image: base-release
      context: .
      docker:
        dockerfile: base/Dockerfile.release 
    - image: my-app
      context: .
      docker:
        dockerfile: my-app/Dockerfile
      requires:
        - image: base-build
          alias: BASE_BUILD
        - image: base-release
          alias: BASE_RELEASE

... more app builds which all use the base-build and base-release images.

And my-app/Dockerfile:

ARG BASE_BUILD
ARG BASE_RELEASE

FROM $BASE_BUILD as build

.. steps to build the app

FROM $BASE_RELEASE as release

COPY --from=build /build/dist/bin/my-app /usr/local/bin/my-app

The base-build image is always uploaded, but it doesn't have to be. It's never used as a release stage of a multi-stage app Dockerfile so the layers cannot be re-used. The build image is quite large (gigabytes) because it has a huge amount of compilers and lib*-dev's installed. Uploading it takes a long time for developers using the setup.

It would be great if there could be some kind of build.artifacts[0].push: Never to override the build.local.push value for a specific artifact/image.

I'd be happy to work on this once we have a good design/specs for it.
