Move to using ubuntu as base with feature already installed for devcontainer #277
This means that vscode is taking up to 30s adding in the feature every time. We were thinking of putting the feature in the base container for epics-containers but publishing this for multiple python bases would be prohibitive for the copier template.
However with uv we now have a different option:
Publish an ubuntu LTS derived devcontainer with uv, bash and zsh, and the bash-config feature installed
Use it for both python-copier-template and epics-containers
Get uv to manage the version of python
This should allow us to have a much better out of the box experience by pulling a single rarely changing base image that will be used for many purposes. The only downside is that every devcontainer.json will need to provide the mount of ${localEnv:HOME}/.config/bash-config to do persistent history, but as we use copier that is easy to arrange for.
If we make the bash-config feature create the folder /bash-config if it does not exist then it would always work even if the mount was not supplied, with the only downside being that eternal history would be local to the container instance only.
At present the feature crashes if it does not find that folder (AFAIR)

Presume this is pending the merge of #248?

I've trialled this in bluesky/ophyd-async#949
Devcontainer working, but haven't looked at the CI yet
