* Removing the nobuild, nolink, and alldeps dependency types in favor of being explicit.
* This will help with maintenance going forward, as adding more dependency types won't affect existing declared dependencies in weird ways.
* default deptype is still `('build', 'link')`
Package repositories now look like this:
top-level-dir/
repo.yaml
packages/
libelf/
package.py
mpich/
package.py
...
This leaves room at the top level for additional metadata, source,
per-repo configs, indexes, etc., and it makes it easy to see that
something is a spack repo (just look for repo.yaml and packages).
