Could you provide an option to only execute `go build` from operator-sdk build step?

Feature Request

Currently, operator-sdk build {image information} does two things. First go build then docker build. The problem is that I need to have to build the executable inside a dockerized container for the limitation of CI/CD infrastructure in my company.

For that reason, it would be very useful to provide an option to choose only go build, not docker build using some flag or simply operator-sdk build.

I currently have a workaround to build my project in the dockerized container. But I'm not sure this approach would be safe for the future change of operator-sdk build command.

RUN env GOOS=linux CGO_ENABLED=0 \
  go build -o ./build/_output/bin/service-deployment-operator \
  -gcflags="all=-trimpath=$(dirname $PWD)" \
  -asmflags="all=-trimpath=$(dirname $PWD)" \
  ./cmd/manager

HI @skycmoon,

It was requested and deferred in the past already. See #1600.

Also, you can check in #2568 all information provided over how it works to allow you to create your makefile target.

Please, let us know if it answers your question and if we can close this one.
