Description

Currently the feature stored at src/common-utils is apaired down version of the older [common-alpine](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-dev-containers/blob/main/script-library/common-alpine.sh) feature.

Previously having a common-alpine as an available feature was a great help for those seeking a linux dev-container sensible settings.

With this being said, there are aspects of the dev-container feature that were very useful, and have since been removed/missing. Support for additional supplementary groups and specifying additional packages are vital to development.
