Feature Request: Ability to skip Dockerfile builds

Apologies if this is not in the correct format for a feature request.

Recently I have been trying to deploy an open source project to Deis that contains a Dockerfile. I would love a way to have Deis skip the Dockerfile deployment, and just revert back to standard build packs. There are a few reasons for this:

• Mainly because the build pack deploys tend to be much faster for me
• My k8's cluster is setup via Stackpoint, and I am having a lot of issues getting the registry working

My hacky solution right now is just to create a deis branch, remove the Dockerfile and push that to deis. Merging master into that branch as i need to update.

Copied from original issue: deis/builder#512

I think we could check if DEIS_BUILD_TYPE=buildpack|dockerfile is present in the environment via config:set. That way users have a way to enforce one type or another. Less black magic is nice. 👍

That would be a nice and simple solution :)
