Anaconda defaults channel

[jacobtomlinson]

It's unclear whether the recent Anaconda licensing situation applies to Dask.

@mrocklin is the project's BDFL, and runs a company with <200 employees, so perhaps the license doesn't apply? However, @quasiben and myself are Dask Owners, and we work for an organisation with >200 employees. So if we contribute to Dask and the CI uses defaults does that implicate the license?

Perhaps it's good to play it safe and remove references to the defaults channel like I have in https://github.com/dask/dask-jobqueue/pull/666.
