Allow packages to be pushed to build cache after install from source (#42423)

This commit adds a property `autopush` to mirrors. When true, every source build is immediately followed by a push to the build cache. This is useful in ephemeral environments such as CI / containers.

To enable autopush on existing build caches, use `spack mirror set --autopush <name>`. The same flag can be used in `spack mirror add`.

---------------------------------
Automatic push to a build cache
---------------------------------
Sometimes it is convenient to push packages to a build cache as soon as they are installed. Spack can do this by setting autopush flag when adding a mirror:
.. code-block:: console
$ spack mirror add --autopush <name> <url or path>
Or the autopush flag can be set for an existing mirror:
.. code-block:: console
$ spack mirror set --autopush <name> # enable automatic push for an existing mirror
$ spack mirror set --no-autopush <name> # disable automatic push for an existing mirror
Then after installing a package it is automatically pushed to all mirrors with ``autopush: true``. The command
.. code-block:: console
$ spack install <package>
will have the same effect as
.. code-block:: console
$ spack install <package>
$ spack buildcache push <cache> <package> # for all caches with autopush: true
.. note::
Packages are automatically pushed to a build cache only if they are built from source.
