[Bug] ./util/docker_build.sh should not require docker-machine

[puchupala]

Describe the Bug

I used to be able to ./util/docker_build.sh on my Mac without having to install docker-machine. However, since #23988 make ./util/docker_build.sh call ./util/docker_cmd.sh, it is now also (seemingly unnecessary) require docker-machine as well.

I tried commenting out docker-machine checking code and ./util/docker_build.sh still ran and built my firmware just fine, suggesting that it's not necessary for building.

You'll find that the docker-machine check has been present for much longer than the PR you've quoted.

It's there to enable flashing -- historically we've had support requests as to why flashing doesn't work with docker builds, so I'd imagine this is why that check is present.

Feel free to raise a PR adding a new environment variable or similar mechanism to disable the check -- it'll need to stay on by default.

@tzarc My apologies. I was using ZSA's fork on firmware23 branch, which doesn't have docker-machine check in ./util/docker_build.sh.

I'll get to that. Thank you very much for the suggestion.
