remove concrete spec constraint from spack develop (#46911)

Browse Source 
Remove the constraint for concrete specs and simply take the
max(version) if a version is not given. This should default to the
highest infinity version which is also the logical best guess for
doing development.

* Remove concrete verision constriant for develop, set docs

* Add unit-test

* Update lib/spack/docs/environments.rst

The ``spack develop`` command allows one to develop Spack packages in
an environment. It requires a spec containing a concrete version, and
will configure Spack to install the package from local source. By
default, it will also clone the package to a subdirectory in the
environment. This package will have a special variant ``dev_path``

If a version is not provided from the command line interface then spack
will automatically pick the highest version the package has defined.
This means any infinity versions (``develop``, ``main``, ``stable``) will be
preferred in this selection process.
By default, ``spack develop`` will also clone the package to a subdirectory in the
environment for the local source. This package will have a special variant ``dev_path``

code has been modified. Spack's native implementation to check for modifications
