Introduce a SPACK_PYTHON environment variable (#21222)

Browse Source 
The SPACK_PYTHON environment variable can be set to a python interpreter to be
used by the spack command.  This allows the spack command itself to use a
consistent and separate interpreter from whatever python might be used for package
building.

If you do not want to use Spack's shell support, you can always just run
the ``spack`` command directly from ``spack/bin/spack``.
When the ``spack`` command is executed it searches for an appropriate
Python interpreter to use, which can be explicitly overridden by setting
the ``SPACK_PYTHON`` environment variable. When sourcing the appropriate shell
setup script, ``SPACK_PYTHON`` will be set to the interpreter found at
sourcing time, ensuring future invocations of the ``spack`` command will
continue to use the same consistent python version regardless of changes in
the environment.
