Overview
It would be useful to add a central installation of mamba/micromamba.
Mamba is available as a spack-package.
Unfortunately micromamba doesn't seem to be available out-of-the-box with it because of some issues with the spack recipe.
I don't think there's much we can do about it (unless we want to fiddle around with the recipe, but that goes beyond this issue's purpose).
However, mamba should work pretty well too as it's the dynamically-linked correspective of micromamba and I don't think it will be a problem especially once it's built using Spack.
If we need the micromamba executable (so users and workflows can still use the same exact commands), we could have the spack module set an alias for micromamba to actually call mamba.
