Update installation instructions

[glatterf42]

Closes #698 and #718. According to the notes I gathered during recent installation/CI runs, this PR

• recommends the libmamba solver when installing via conda
• corrects the dependency arguments (or adds them) when using pip
• recommends adding the main repo as remote upstream and fetches the tags from there

How to review

• Read the diff and note that the CI checks all pass.
• Build the documentation and look at the installation page.

PR checklist

• [x] Continuous integration checks all ✅ Except for macos-latest-py3.7 per iiasa/ixmp#484.
• [x] ~Add or expand tests;~ coverage checks both :white_check_mark:
• [x] Add, expand, or update documentation.
• ~Update release notes.~ Not applicable.

@khaeru Do you think we should mention not installing jpype version 1.4.1 in the installation instructions? I was thinking of adding that to the 'known issues', but then I saw that you removed the temporary workaround in iiasa/ixmp#463, so I don't know if this is still relevant?

It appears to have resolved itself. Both the ixmp and message-ix "pytest" CI workflows appear to be using JPype1 v1.4.1, and test_del_ts is passing. We don't have a concrete understanding of what was causing the issue: we only know that it appeared around the time JPype1 v1.4.1 appeared.

tl;dr—I'd agree with your judgement that we don't need to specifically mention it in the install instructions.
