[Feature Request][common-utils]: add additionalPackages option

[raymond-chetty]

common-utils currently adds common packages depending on the distribution. This task would expand the functionality with a new option called additionalPackages that would simply pass the package manager additional packages for installing.

It looks like there is a feature which does this and it sounds like the author believes common-utils might be a good place for such functionality to move into.

Comment from #67

Hi, I published `apt-packages` Feature to install apt packages.
https://github.com/rocker-org/devcontainer-features/tree/main/src/apt-packages

Something better than (perhaps supports more than just apt?) may become available here in the future, but for now we can use it to install any apt package without a Dockerfile.

Alternately move https://github.com/rocker-org/devcontainer-features/tree/main/src/apt-packages into https://github.com/devcontainers/features and expand to work on alpine and redhat.

Possible name: native-package-manager

Hi 👋

Thanks for this Feature option request, I like this idea of adding a new additionalPackages which works similar to https://github.com/rocker-org/devcontainer-features/tree/main/src/apt-packages.

From https://github.com/devcontainers/features/tree/main/src/common-utils#os-support 👇

This Feature should work on recent versions of Debian/Ubuntu, RedHat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, RockyLinux, and Alpine Linux.

As you pointed out before, we'd need to ensure it works with all types of currently supported OS.

@raymond-chetty would you be interested in opening a PR with these changes? We highly appreciate community contributions, I could help review the PR.

I guess I'm interested. I'll let you know when I get to this. You can probably leave it unassigned for now.
