mlcube configure with local docker image

[hasan7n]

Running mlcube configure with an MLCube that uses a local docker image that hasn't been pushed yet to the remote registry is throwing an error (and exiting with status 1). Here is the output error:

2023-08-19 01:02:07 hasan-HP-ZBook-15-G3 mlcube.config[42674] WARNING Default runner config contains parameters that are not present in the effective runner config (params=['--mount_opts']). This probably means that a new version of a runner was installed that introduced new parameters.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

mlcube.errors.ExecutionError: DockerRun runner failed to configure MLCube. Error occurred while pulling docker image (docker=docker, image=mlcommons/mock-model-brats:0.0.0).

The reason is that MLCube tries to pull the image by default (build strategy is pull/auto).

Question: should this command instead fallback to check if the local image exists and only throw a warning instead? Perhaps when build_strategy=auto.
