Get basic devcontainer setup working (#2459)

* Fix typo (devcontainers->devcontainer)

* basic git extension

* add requirements to Dockerfile

* multi-line string instead

* exclude standard packages

* fix typo in Rbuildignore too

* patrick too

* Use remotes to encapsulate installation

* simplify

* combine 2nd+3rd install calls

* even simpler

* drop remotes

* syntax

* one more, spacing for clarity

* Try COPY from parent directory

* copy to '.'

* try symlinking

* no longer need COPY

* or maybe I do?

* i suck at symlink

* i hate docker so much

* hard-code deps

* revert

* trying build.context instead

* git :(

* Back to remotes

* semicolon needed

* Comment about '|>' + '_' (#2495)

* rm obsolete

* don't include Depends (just a distraction)

* formatting

* revert
