Use mamba to install conda packages and mambabuild to build them
Description
This MR modifies the CI configuration to use mamba
to install conda packages, and mambabuild
to build them. The mamba
solver is significantly faster than the regular conda solver, and produces nearly identical results, so this should save us a bunch of time.
