Module index should not be unconditionally overwritten (#14837)

* Module index should not be unconditionally overwritten

Uncovered after we switched our CI to generate modules for packages
one-by-one rather than in bulk. This overwrote a complete module index
with an index with a single entry, and broke our downstream Spack
instances that needed the upstream module index.
