Fixes https://github.com/hwchase17/langchain/issues/6172
As described in https://github.com/hwchase17/langchain/issues/6172, I'd
love to help update the dev container in this project.
**Summary of changes:**
- Dev container now builds (the current container in this repo won't
build for me)
- Dockerfile updates
- Update image to our [currently-maintained Python
image](https://github.com/devcontainers/images/tree/main/src/python/.devcontainer)
(`mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/python`) rather than the deprecated
image from vscode-dev-containers
- Move Dockerfile to root of repo - in order for `COPY` to work
properly, it needs the files (in this case, `pyproject.toml` and
`poetry.toml`) in the same directory
- devcontainer.json updates
- Removed `customizations` and `remoteUser` since they should be covered
by the updated image in the Dockerfile
- Update comments
- Update docker-compose.yaml to properly point to updated Dockerfile
- Add a .gitattributes to avoid line ending conversions, which can
result in hundreds of pending changes
([info](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/tips-and-tricks#_resolving-git-line-ending-issues-in-containers-resulting-in-many-modified-files))
- Add a README in the .devcontainer folder and info on the dev container
in the contributing.md
**Outstanding questions:**
- Is it expected for `poetry install` to take some time? It takes about
30 minutes for this dev container to finish building in a Codespace, but
a user should only have to experience this once. Through some online
investigation, this doesn't seem unusual
- Versions of poetry newer than 1.3.2 failed every time - based on some
of the guidance in contributing.md and other online resources, it seemed
changing poetry versions might be a good solution. 1.3.2 is from Jan
2023
