Previously the `spack load` command was a wrapper around `module load`. This required some bootstrapping of modules to make `spack load` work properly.
With this PR, the `spack` shell function handles the environment modifications necessary to add packages to your user environment. This removes the dependence on environment modules or lmod and removes the requirement to bootstrap spack (beyond using the setup-env scripts).
Included in this PR is support for MacOS when using Apple's System Integrity Protection (SIP), which is enabled by default in modern MacOS versions. SIP clears the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` and `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` variables on process startup for executables that live in `/usr` (but not '/usr/local', `/System`, `/bin`, and `/sbin` among other system locations. Spack cannot know the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` of the calling process when executed using `/bin/sh` and `/usr/bin/python`. The `spack` shell function now manually forwards these two variables, if they are present, as `SPACK_<VAR>` and recovers those values on startup.
- [x] spack load/unload no longer delegate to modules
- [x] refactor user_environment modification calculations
- [x] update documentation for spack load/unload

Dotkit is being used only at a few sites and has been deprecated on new
machines. This commit removes all the code that provide support for the
generation of dotkit module files.
A new validator named "deprecatedProperties" has been added to the
jsonschema validators. It permits to prompt a warning message or exit
with an error if a property that has been marked as deprecated is
encountered.
* Removed references to dotkit in the docs
* Removed references to dotkit in setup-env-test.sh
* Added a unit test for the 'deprecatedProperties' schema validator
- `spack env create <name>` works as before
- `spack env create <path>` now works as well -- environments can be
created in their own directories outside of Spack.
- `spack install` will look for a `spack.yaml` file in the current
directory, and will install the entire project from the environment
- The Environment class has been refactored so that it does not depend on
the internal Spack environment root; it just takes a path and operates
on an environment in that path (so internal and external envs are
handled the same)
- The named environment interface has been hoisted to the
spack.environment module level.
- env.yaml is now spack.yaml in all places. It was easier to go with one
name for these files than to try to handle logic for both env.yaml and
spack.yaml.
- `spack env activate foo`: sets SPACK_ENV to the current active env name
- `spack env deactivate`: unsets SPACK_ENV, deactivates the environment
- added support to setup_env.sh and setup_env.csh
- other env commands work properly with SPACK_ENV, as with an environment
arguments.
- command-line --env arguments take precedence over the active
environment, if given.
- remove the old LGPL license headers from all files in Spack
- add SPDX headers to all files
- core and most packages are (Apache-2.0 OR MIT)
- a very small number of remaining packages are LGPL-2.1-only
spack module :
- refresh accepts a constraint
- find and refresh share common cli options
- ask for confirmation before refreshing
- deleting the module file tree is now optional
