CI Timing Statistics (#38598)

* Write timing information for installs from cache

* CI: aggregate and upload install_times.json to artifacts

* CI: Don't change root directory for artifact generation

* Flat event based timer variation

Event based timer allows for easily starting and stopping timers without
wiping sub-timer data. It also requires less branching logic when
tracking time.

The json output is non-hierarchical in this version and hierarchy is
less rigidly enforced between starting and stopping.

* Add and write timers for top level install

* Update completion

* remove unused subtimer api

* Fix unit tests

* Suppress timing summary option

* Save timers summaries to user_data artifacts

* Remove completion from fish

* Move spack python to script section

* Write timer correctly for non-cache installs

* Re-add hash to timer file

* Fish completion updates

* Fix null timer yield value

* fix type hints

* Remove timer-summary-file option

* Add "." in front of non-package timer name
