Control Werror by converting to Wno-error (#30882)
Using `-Werror` is good practice for development and testing, but causes us a great deal of heartburn supporting multiple compiler versions, especially as newer compiler versions add warnings for released packages. This PR adds support for suppressing `-Werror` through spack's compiler wrappers. There are currently three modes for the `flags:keep_werror` setting: * `none`: (default) cancel all `-Werror`, `-Werror=*` and `-Werror-*` flags by converting them to `-Wno-error[=]*` flags * `specific`: preserve explicitly selected warnings as errors, such as `-Werror=format-truncation`, but reverse the blanket `-Werror` * `all`: keeps all `-Werror` flags These can be set globally in config.yaml, through the config command-line flags, or overridden by a particular package (some packages use Werror as a proxy for determining support for other compiler features). We chose to use this approach because: 1. removing `-Werror` flags entirely broke *many* build systems, especially autoconf based ones, because of things like checking `-Werror=feature` and making the assumption that if that did not error other flags related to that feature would also work 2. Attempting to preserve `-Werror` in some phases but not others caused similar issues 3. The per-package setting came about because some packages, even with all these protections, still use `-Werror` unsafely. Currently there are roughly 3 such packages known.
