python-3-miniforge devcontainer (compatible with existing python-3-miniconda devcontainer)

Last year, the Anaconda repository became fee-based for large commercial organizations.
That's one of the reasons that some people want to use conda-forge instead of the Anaconda repository.

There is a project called miniforge that provides a conda installer that assumes the use of conda-forge, and also provides Docker images.
It would be useful for those who want to use conda-forge to have a devcontainer with miniforge installed instead of miniconda.

For reference, miniforge is used in the Docker images provided by the Jupyter Project. (jupyter/docker-stacks#1189)

Just to add that we are also keen on a miniforge container

That would be very nice to have miniforge supported here and more specifically mambaforge!

I built a dev container config based on the Micromamba docker image in case it can be useful here: https://github.com/datamol-org/datamol/tree/main/.devcontainer
