Description
Adds a dev container to simplify onboarding of new developers who aren't familiar with installing C++ dependencies, or who work in an environment like Windows with complex build processes. Developers using VS Code can simply build the included container, and re-open their workspace inside the container, which will mount the project directory into an environment with all of GridKit's prerequisites pre-installed.
Further comments
In the future, this container could be modified to be used as a deployment environment for GridKit. This container is currently sitting at ~677 MB (which is mostly software like cmake, g++, etc.) but builds in < 1 minute for me.
