Name conflicts for mamba #3

This looks like a cool project, but the name seems problematic because of the pre-existing package manager Mamba. The Mamba SSM installation instructions currently suggest installing with pip, but Mamba SSM could very soon be available as a conda package, and then you'll have instructions like mamba install mamba-ssm, which seems very, very confusing!

Indeed, mamba is reserved on PyPi for yet a different mamba: https://pypi.org/project/mamba/

There also is a Llama2 fine tune called mamba: https://huggingface.co/CobraMamba

To be fair! The official Python name of this package is mamba_ssm https://pypi.org/project/mamba-ssm/

So I think we're good from a pip and conda perspective!

If it's consistently called "Mamba SSM", there's no problem! But the name of this repo, its readme, and the announcement all just use Mamba, so I'd bet lots of people will try to "pip install mamba".

Seems like Gemini can't tell the two projects apart (see the generated github link)
