fix doubly shell quoting args to spack spec (#29282)

* add test to verify fix works
* fix spec cflags/variants parsing test (breaking change)
* fix `spack spec` arg quoting issue
* add error report for deprecated cflags coalescing
* use .group(n) vs subscript regex group extraction for 3.5 compat
* add random test for untested functionality to pass codecov
* fix new test failure since rebase
