[Build] Remove mentioning ./gradlew assemble to build all distributions (#116400)

This causes problems since this also includes building our wolfi image that is based on a non public available base image resulting in build failure for user without access to the docker registry.

We should avoid suggesting using ./gradlew assemble as it builds a tons of stuff unrelated to any distribution. 

Instead people should be pointed to `./gradlew localDistro`
