Makefile generator for parallel spack install of environments (#30254)

`make` solves a lot of headaches that would otherwise have to be implemented in Spack:

1. Parallelism over packages through multiple `spack install` processes
2. Orderly output of parallel package installs thanks to `make --sync-output=recurse` or `make -Orecurse` (works well in GNU Make 4.3; macOS is unfortunately on a 16 years old 3.x version, but it's one `spack install gmake` away...)
3. Shared jobserver across packages, which means a single `-j` to rule them all, instead of manually finding a balance between `#spack install processes` & `#jobs per package` (See #30302).

This pr adds the `spack env depfile` command that generates a Makefile with dag hashes as
targets, and dag hashes of dependencies as prerequisites, and a command
along the lines of `spack install --only=packages /hash` to just install
a single package.

It exposes two convenient phony targets: `all`, `fetch-all`. The former installs the environment, the latter just fetches all sources. So one can either use `make all -j16` directly or run `make fetch-all -j16` on a login node and `make all -j16` on a compute node. 

Example:

```yaml
spack:
  specs: [perl]
  view: false
```

running

```
$ spack -e . env depfile --make-target-prefix env | tee Makefile
```
generates

```Makefile

```

Then with `make -O` you get very nice orderly output when packages are built in parallel:
```console
$ make -Orecurse -j16
spack -e . install --only-concrete --only=package /c4go4gxlcznh5p5nklpjm644epuh3pzc && touch c4go4gxlcznh5p5nklpjm644epuh3pzc

```

For Perl, at least for me, using `make -j16` versus `spack -e . install -j16` speeds up the builds from 3m32.623s to 2m22.775s, as some configure scripts run in parallel.

Another nice feature is you can do Makefile "metaprogramming" and depend on packages built by Spack. This example fetches all sources (in parallel) first, print a message, and only then build packages (in parallel).

```Makefile
SPACK ?= spack

.PHONY: env

all: env

spack.lock: spack.yaml
	$(SPACK) -e . concretize -f

env.mk: spack.lock
	$(SPACK) -e . env depfile -o $@ --make-target-prefix spack

fetch: spack/fetch
	@echo Fetched all packages && touch $@

env: fetch spack/env
	@echo This executes after the environment has been installed

clean:
	rm -rf spack/ env.mk spack.lock

ifeq (,$(filter clean,$(MAKECMDGOALS)))
include env.mk
endif
```

.. note::
Every ``spack install`` process builds one package at a time with multiple build
jobs, controlled by the ``-j`` flag and the ``config:build_jobs`` option

packages can be installed in parallel by launching more Spack instances. For
example, the following will build at most four packages in parallel using
three background jobs:
.. code-block:: console

Another option is to generate a ``Makefile`` and run ``make -j<N>`` to control
the number of parallel install processes. See :ref:`env-generate-depfile`

------------------------------------------
Generating Depfiles from Environments
------------------------------------------
Spack can generate ``Makefile``\s to make it easier to build multiple
packages in an environment in parallel. Generated ``Makefile``\s expose
targets that can be included in existing ``Makefile``\s, to allow
other targets to depend on the environment installation.
A typical workflow is as follows:
.. code:: console
spack env create -d .
spack -e . add perl
spack -e . concretize
spack -e . env depfile > Makefile
make -j8
This creates an environment in the current working directory, and after
concretization, generates a ``Makefile``. Then ``make`` starts at most
8 concurrent jobs, meaning that multiple ``spack install`` processes may
start.
By default the following phony convenience targets are available:
- ``make all``: installs the environment (default target);
- ``make fetch-all``: only fetch sources of all packages;
- ``make clean``: cleans files used by make, but does not uninstall packages.
.. tip::
GNU Make version 4.3 and above have great support for output synchronization
through the ``-O`` and ``--output-sync`` flags, which ensure that output is
printed orderly per package install. To get synchronized output with colors,
use ``make -j<N> SPACK_COLOR=always --output-sync=recurse``.
The following advanced example shows how generated targets can be used in a
``Makefile``:
.. code:: Makefile
SPACK ?= spack
.PHONY: all clean fetch env
all: env
spack.lock: spack.yaml
$(SPACK) -e . concretize -f
env.mk: spack.lock
$(SPACK) -e . env depfile -o $@ --make-target-prefix spack
fetch: spack/fetch
$(info Environment fetched!)
env: spack/env
$(info Environment installed!)
clean:
rm -rf spack.lock env.mk spack/
ifeq (,$(filter clean,$(MAKECMDGOALS)))
include env.mk
endif
When ``make`` is invoked, it first "remakes" the missing include ``env.mk``
from its rule, which triggers concretization. When done, the generated targets
``spack/fetch`` and ``spack/env`` are available. In the above
example, the ``env`` target uses the latter as a prerequisite, meaning
that it can make use of the installed packages in its commands.
As it is typically undesirable to remake ``env.mk`` as part of ``make clean``,
the include is conditional.
.. note::
When including generated ``Makefile``\s, it is important to use
the ``--make-target-prefix`` flag and use the non-phony targets
``<target-prefix>/env`` and ``<target-prefix>/fetch`` as
prerequisites, instead of the phony targets ``<target-prefix>/all``
and ``<target-prefix>/fetch-all`` respectively.
