feat(TOPUP): an initial implementation of SD estimation.

Adds a new subworkflow based on FSL TOPUP to integrate SD estimation
for the ds001771 dataset.

- [x] Pin niworkflows to current master (while I release 1.2.0rc5
  containing nipreps/niworkflows#503, nipreps/niworkflows#504, which
  are used here).
- [x] Create a new sdc estimation workflow, with the expectation of
  upstreaming it to SDCFlows.
- [x] Implement the barebones of how nipreps/sdcflows#101 could look
  like. Also to be upstreamed to SDCFlows when mature.
- [x] Stick TOPUP from FSL 6.0.3 in the Docker image, since topup from
  FSL 5.0.x is really unstable (for instance, it fails with a
  segmentation fault on the workflow of ds001771)

Resolves: #92
