Add Dask to VRE Lab for parallel computing #405

Description

@dometto

See Dask

Installation is easy via a JupyterLab extension: https://github.com/dask/dask-labextension

We could either:

  • add a manual explaining to users how they can add this extension
  • install this extension by default (using the jupyterhub_extra_pkgs in the jupyterhub playbook)
  • create an optional component for VRE LAB

One worry is that Dask currently communicates over TCP sockets, not unix sockets. So different users can interact with each others' Dask clusters (there is no authentication in this setup). Support for UDS may be trivial to add though: dask/distributed#3630
