What changed

Update make build-ui to build the checked-out ui/ source and copy the generated build into sdk/python/feast/ui/build.
Keep build-ui-local as an alias for the same build path.

Why

feast ui packages the embedded React app from sdk/python/feast/ui/build. The previous release build target pulled @feast-dev/feast-ui --latest from npm, but npm's latest published package is still 0.57.0. That stale UI treats registryPath as a monolithic registry blob URL, so with the newer Python server generating /api/v1, it requests GET /api/v1 and receives a 404.

Building the embedded UI from the repo-local ui/ source keeps the frontend bundle aligned with the REST-backed Python UI server.

Fixes #6519.

Validation

make -n build-ui

I could not run the full UI build locally because yarn is not installed in this shell.
