[ALM Accelerator - Feature]: Override pool/vmimage used by ALM pipelines

[wiskaso]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We do not use the Azure Hosted Agents but instead host our own build agents. In order to use our internal agents, we have to update the pool and image names used by the ALM templates directly which causes merge conflicts every time we go to update our ALM templates via the sync repo script.

Describe the solution you'd like

Is it possible to parameterize and/or provide a way to override the pool and vmimage name values without directly editing the file to avoid causing merge conflicts?

Describe alternatives you've considered

Current alternative is to have someone manually resolve merge conflicts.

Additional context?

@wiskaso thanks for submitting this. We've had an issue in our backlog for this for a while that we haven't gotten around to updating since we didn't get a lot of feedback that it was a priority. So appreciate you bringing it up #837. Will look into how best to solve this in an upcoming release.
