Description

### What is the idea?
anaconda used to have these "shared environment files". The idea was to make it is easy to install pretty complicated environments quickly.
I would like to recreate something similar for users that do not have conda installed at all.
This would allow:
1. Providing users a "small" download.
2. That download pulls in a much more elaborate installer
### Why is this needed?
Running
```
conda env update --file SOME_SPEC_FILE
```
after the creation of the base environment
### What should happen?
Downloading optimized packaged based on cpu capabilities and potentially GPU.
### Additional Context
could be done with https://github.com/conda/constructor/issues/985
