Finalize oras-py implementation

[jaimergp]

📌 Summary

Work with the broader packaging community to complete the implementation of oras-py.

📝 Background

oras-py is the Python client of the ORAS project, which aims to provide an opinionated abstraction for the storage of arbitrary artifacts on OCI services. In order to leverage OCI-based artifacts in the conda ecosystem, this library will be needed by many tools.

🚀 Tasks / Deliverables

• [ ] TBD.

📅 Estimated completion

This task should be finished in the first 12 months.

https://github.com/channel-mirrors/conda-oci-mirror is now available as a package in conda-forge, and we are using it for some metadata retrieval tasks. Thus I think it's safe to assume the oras-py stuff has been implemented successfully and we can close this issue.
