Add a Github Codespace Config based on gitpod dockerfile

[mainawycliffe]

This will ensure contributors using Github Codespaces have to correct environment setup, with all packages installed. Any changes to the .gitpod will be mirrored on Codespaces as they share the same dockerfile.

Changes

Doesn't change anything, just ensures that Github codespaces can be started with everything setup correctly.

Testing

This was tested manually as it's a config addition not a code change by running codespaces. You can do the same by going to my fork of the repo and opening Github Codespace under code.

Docs

No docs necessary atm.

Thanks for the PR! I just pushed an update to rename the Dockerfile so it's more generic.

LGTM!

@natemoo-re We actually already have a devcontainer setup (for users) we've been testing out on the Support Squad for some time, but it has yet to be upstreamed to GitHub because of some issues we're waiting to GitHub to respond on (#3982).

That said, fmu we wanted to start moving away from specific setups for every remote coding tool. Therefore, I think it would be best if we rewrote this in the new Developer Container specification (you can use the above-mentioned devcontainer.json, as a sample). This format allows for universal interoperability with GitPod, GitHub.dev, and Codespaces; and allows us to (eventually) get rid of the tool-specific dependencies (after GitPod has finished implementing devcontainer, of course).
