Add script to install CI versions of all external Bob dependencies

This is a proposal for a script that would help create a local environment containing all external Bob dependencies and using the same pins as the CI.

TODO

• Create entry point (bdt dev dependencies)
• Update documentation (Note : the CI build is seemingly using cuda builds of the pytorch and tensorflow, which would not be the case locally unless having done an export CONDA_OVERRIDE_CUDA=x.x or running on a machine with GPU.)
• Add compilers package to the installed list

ping @ydayer @amohammadi

Do you feel this is a sensible way to approach things ?

changed title from Draft: Add script to install all CI versions of external Bob dependencies to Draft: Add script to install CI versions of all external Bob dependencies

Looks good but you want to document the cuda override issue and add the compilers package which will install conda-forge's compilers.

bdt dev dependencies?

Approach looks good. bdt dev dependencies sounds ok too.

Having users specify CONDA_OVERRIDE_CUDA is good enough as that should be used in rare cases and where we know what we are doing.

isn't nargs=1 by default?

LGTM, you can even merge as it is if you want to.
