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.
