Support inspecting Conda projects

[tsteenbe]

In the machine learning community Python and Conda are often used together so it would be nice if python-inspector supports it - also it would enable ORT to close https://github.com/oss-review-toolkit/ort/pull/3492.

From @pombredanne on ORT Slack:

It does not yet support Conda, but this should rather straight forward to add as there is already support to extract dependent purls from Conda manifests in https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/blob/develop/src/packagedcode/conda.py

@Thomas Steenbergen (tsteenbe) re: Does python-inspector support analyzing Conda projects? the fact this is mentioned in the doc is a bit getting ahead of what's possible! It does not yet support Conda, but this should rather straight forward to add as there is already support to extract dependent purls from Conda manifests in https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/blob/develop/src/packagedcode/conda.py

Philippe Ombredanne (ScanCode) 3 months ago @Thomas Steenbergen (tsteenbe) can you enter an issue there to add support for this? Eventually we would be looking to extract all the Python-handling code from ScanCode to move it into the python-inspector (poetry, pipenv, pep517, conda, and all the Python package formats "menagerie".
