Make it clearer that conda/miniconda3 Docker image is "deprecated" / unmaintained? #298

Description

@ryan-williams

If I'm understanding correctly, the conda/miniconda3 image was replaced by continuumio/miniconda3 as the best general purpose conda base image. conda/miniconda3 hasn't been updated in 3 years, and its GitHub repo is archived.

However, conda/miniconda3 remains the top Google result for "conda docker image", with continuumio/miniconda3 nowhere on the page:

It would be good to do either:

  1. update conda/miniconda3's repo description on Docker Hub to reflect that it's most likely not what people want
  2. mirror continuumio/miniconda3 images to conda/miniconda3

Recent example where using the wrong base image caused me many problems: geopandas/geopandas#2442
