consider replacing conda with mamba

[fdiblen]

Mamba is a good alternative to conda which has a faster dependency resolver.

Hi @fdiblen . Our primary goal is to support official tools that are endorsed by the Python distribution (i.e. conda and setuptools). We could test with mamba as well as other package managers (eg. Poetry), but we already have a very big platform matrix, and we don't even support Python 3.10 yet (while there's Python 3.11 preview available).

However, if you tried to install our package with mamba and faced problem, we'd like to know about it. At least in theory, mamba is supposed to be a drop-in replacement for conda for installing packages, so, you should expect installation to "just work".

We will continue to support conda, please let us know any problems with mamba you experience.
