* Initial compiler support

* added arm.py

* Changed licence to Arm suggested header

* Changed licence to the same as clang.py
Main author of file is Nick Forrington <Nick.Forrington@arm.com>
Minor changes by Srinath Vadlamani <srinath.vadlamani@arm.com>

* compilers: add arm compiler detection to Spack

- added arm.py with support for detecting `armclang` and `armflang`

Co-authored-by: Srinath Vadlamani <srinath.vadlamani@arm.com>

* Changed to using get get_compiler_version

* linking to general cc for arm compiler

* For arm compiler add CFLAGS to use compiler-rt rtlib.

* Escape for special characters in rexep

* Cleaned up for Flake8 to pass.

* libcompiler-rt should be part of the LDFLAGS not CFLAGS

* fixed m4 when using clang to used LDFLAGS.  Fixed comments for arm.py to display compiler --version output with # NOAQ for flakes pass.

* added arm compilers

* proper linked names
