     def test_parse_yotta_json_for_build_name(self):

Target property priority incorrect
Currently we have priority as follows:
```
internal yotta blob > targets.json > tool default
```
This is a bug.

Instead the priority should be:
```
targets.json /w default > internal yotta blob > tool delaut
```

This implies a few test cases:

In targets.json        | In yotta blob | property used | Currently Works
---------------------- | ------------- | ---------------- | ---------------
Yes, with property | No            | `targets.json`   | Yes
Yes, without property| No            | default   | Yes
Yes, with property | Yes           | `targets.json`   | No
Yes, without property | Yes           | default   | No
No                     | No           | default       | Yes
No                     | Yes           | yotta blob       | Yes

@bridadan Is this the issue masked by #248?
