Fixes #216
Trying to test #217 on a VM was leading to issues installing the Python requirements from the custom branch. However using the default installer together with #217 seems to be working well.
For reference we were still pointing to a branch of my TLJH fork which had a floag to not create a base user environment since Plasma uses Docker: jupyterhub/the-littlest-jupyterhub#528
However this upstream PR has been closed and there is no ongoing work to re-add a similar feature at the moment.
That said this PR was initially raised because creating the default environment used to be taking a very long time when it was still installing JupyterLab 2 and building it with extensions. Now TLJH has switch to JupyterLab 3+ and mamba, and creating the default environment is much faster now.
