Description

This is something to consider to help contributors get up and running faster. I suggest we create (and maintain) a FastAPI contributors quickstart that contains the basic dependencies needed to contribute to the fastAPI code. I have seen people adding codespaces for using the software (including GitHub as one of their first codespaces tutorials) but haven't seen a dedicated one for contributing and using in dev mode.

This could replace/enhance the setup instructions here: https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/contributing/

A couple of benefits of using this approach (which I see more open source projects adopting):

1. It accelerates new contributors setting up their environments. (Especially helpful for the language translations that I know are important to @tiangolo.

2. It's a super easy way to keep the dev copy of the code separate from the working copy (this is something that has caused me a headache once or twice).

I'll raise my hand to help out getting this set up if it's something we want to consider.
