Create `requirements.txt` file to track dependencies

@zmaalick - do we need to have a requirements file now we are planning to use conda environments? If not can we close this issue?

This was specifically so we could use github dependency graph features (vulnerability tracking etc.) and for python this needs to be a requirements.txt or pipfile.lock https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/supply-chain-security/understanding-your-software-supply-chain/about-the-dependency-graph#supported-package-ecosystems

... but more generally, this is an optional feature...

I guess at this stage, we can ignore it or put it in back burner.
