Description

### Are there any linked Issues or Pull Requests?

#437

### Brief description

Users wishing to build applications locally at precisions other than the default (64-bit `r_def`) cannot currently do so. This can cause problems when running higher resolution models due to OOM errors currently seen.

### Further details of the issue.

Planned work includes adding a new CLI arg to `build/local_build.py` that sets precision of `r_def` and any other relevant real number precisions.
