github workflows failing due to long conda install times #227
Description
*note: In the tests/build workflow, the conda environment build is taking too long https://github.com/SCECcode/pycsep/blob/c19ce9f1a7a898987c8697440098bc2f51bc9088/.github/workflows/build-test.yml#L32
and sometimes it gives up of building the environment and just fail the workflow. We maybe should build the environment differently.

The way the environment is built (conda env --update) should be changed
