Description
### Describe the feature
I want to be able to skip the docker build with a parameter. Something like this:
```
import { DockerImageAsset } from "aws-cdk-lib/aws-ecr-assets";
...
new DockerImageAsset(scope, "AppDockerImage", {
directory: path.join(__dirname, "../"),
skipBuild: process.env.SKIP_BUILD,
});
```
### Use Case
Sometimes I just changed something in the infrastructure and want to test the changes without needing to rebuild the docker image since it may take very long. For that, I would like to have a flag in the pipeline that sets an environment variable. That variable can be used to skip the docker build.
### Proposed Solution
See feature description
### Acknowledgements
- [X] I may be able to implement this feature request
- [ ] This feature might incur a breaking change
### CDK version used
2.79.1
### Environment details (OS name and version, etc.)

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the DockerImageAsset entry point in aws-ecr-assets and trace how the current Docker build is triggered. Define the parameter's behavior for the infrastructure-only workflow, including what happens when the build is skipped, and verify that the requested pipeline use case works without rebuilding the image.
