Currently requirements allow to express "strong preferences" and "conflicts" from
configuration using a convoluted syntax:
```yaml
packages:
zlib-ng:
require:
# conflict on %clang
- one_of: ["%clang", "@:"]
# Strong preference for +shared
- any_of: ["+shared", "@:"]
```
This PR adds syntactic sugar so that the same can be written as:
```yaml
packages:
zlib-ng:
conflict:
- "%clang"
prefer:
- "+shared"
```
Preferences written in this way are "stronger" that the ones documented at:
- https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/packages_yaml.html#package-preferences
The gcc-runtime package adds a separate node for gcc's dynamic runtime
libraries.
This should help with:
1. binary caches where rpaths for compiler support libs cannot be
relocated because the compiler is missing on the target system
2. creating "minimal" container images
The package is versioned like `gcc` (in principle it could be
unversioned, but Spack doesn't always guarantee not mixing compilers)
Improve how mirrors are used in gitlab ci, where we have until now thought
of them as only a string.
By configuring ci mirrors ahead of time using the proposed mirror templates,
and by taking advantage of the expressiveness that spack now has for mirrors,
this PR will allow us to easily switch the protocol/url we use for fetching
binary dependencies.
This change also deprecates some gitlab functionality and marks it for
removal in Spack 0.23:
- arguments to "spack ci generate":
* --buildcache-destination
* --copy-to
- gitlab configuration options:
* enable-artifacts-buildcache
* temporary-storage-url-prefix
* e4s cray rhel stack: expand to full spec list
* comment out gasnet; require %gcc for unzip
* require openblas@0.3.20 to get around %cce error; follow up with issue report
* comment out failing specs;
* comment out axom and xyce due to errors
* improve clarity of failing specs
* AMReX: 23.06+ Multi-Dim Support
This updated the Spack package to allow to install AMReX, modules of
AMReX in E4S deployments and dependent packages with support for
multiple dimensions. Due to an upstream change in AMReX, we do not
longer need to ship three, binary incompatible package variants.
* [E4S] oneAPI AMReX < 23.06 Variant
Work-around the auto-concretization to the multi-dim of `dimensions`,
which only in 23.06+ became a multi-variant.
* e4s cray rhel ci: temporarily disable amrex build until spurious ci failure can be resolved

Refactor gitlab ci configs so that mac and cray jobs can reuse as much higher level
configuration as possible.
* CI: remove redundant sections
* CI: Include base linux CI configs in cray stacks
Relocation and runner mapping is consistent between cray and linux runners.
* Export user cache path in before script
* CI: add GPG root for mac runners
* Disable user configs
Metal runners share a ~ directory
* Disable user config and add configs in activate env
