Deprecate this repo

[davidanthoff]

The future is https://github.com/JuliaLang/devcontainer-features, so we should mark this repo here as officially deprecated/no longer maintained. I'm not entirely sure what the best way to do that is? Maybe just update the README? And remove any pointer from the VS Code stuff to this repo and replace them with links to the feature? @eitsupi does that sound right to you?

So the story is that essentially https://github.com/JuliaLang/devcontainer-features and https://github.com/JuliaLang/devcontainer-templates will entirely replace the need for this repo here.

Once the latter template repo is up-and-running, we can presumably really deprecate this repo here, i.e. remove it from the old registration for the VS Code UI and then update the README here that things are no longer maintained.

I think we need to do the following steps:

1. Publish the new Template from https://github.com/JuliaLang/devcontainer-templates
2. Add https://github.com/JuliaLang/devcontainer-templates to the index.
3. Remove the old Template from https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-dev-containers (Like Update R template - Migrated to a self hosted repo by the community author microsoft/vscode-dev-containers#1673)
4. Archive this repo.

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-dev-containers has been announced that it will be archived in November (microsoft/vscode-dev-containers#1762), so doing this now seems like a good time to do it.

should this be deprecated then? Sometimes I end up in this repo by mistake.

Yes, I think that is right! I just updated the README and will archive this repo next.
