Provide optional support for VSCode Dev Containers

[tnmygrwl]

As a developer

• I want to be able to use Linux-only packages on my local setup and not have to worry about equivalents for OSX and deal with the downstream issues.
• I want to develop inside Docker containers seamlessly as I would locally using the rich feature set of my IDE (VSCode).
  So for that reason, I'd like support for doing development inside a Docker container using VSCode's dev containers

• Update documentation as needed (e.g. installing the dev containers extension on VS Code, outline of use cases/benefits of dev containers)
