Extend the build capability of gdasapp on compute nodes (in addition to on frontend nodes)

[aerorahul]

To speed up the building of the global application, it would be nice to have the gdasapp be built on a compute node.
Presently, the configure stage of building gdasapp is set to download data (testdata, fixdata?) from an online store. The online store is not available from compute nodes (we could try to build on service nodes and check if those have access to online stores)

One piece of block that enables to build on the compute node on Hera is here. This check could be extended to Hercules/Orion/WCOSS2 as a quick fix.
