concretizer: move remove_node transform into spec_clauses

`remove_node` is used in almost all calls to `condition()`, but it's removing something
we could just not add in the first place. The `node` and `virtual_node` attrs are only
needed in certain places, so annotate calls to `spec_clauses` there instead of stripping
them after it's called.

-Version ranges
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Specifying backward and forward compatibility
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
-Although some packages require a specific version for their dependencies,
-most can be built with a range of versions. For example, if you are
-writing a package for a legacy Python module that only works with Python
-2.4 through 2.6, this would look like:
+Packages are often compatible with a range of versions of their
+dependencies. This is typically referred to as backward and forward
+compatibility. Spack allows you to specify this in the ``depends_on``
+directive using version ranges.
+
+**Backwards compatibility** means that the package requires at least a
+certain version of its dependency:
 
 .. code-block:: python
 
-   depends_on("python@2.4:2.6")
+   depends_on("python@3.10:")
 
-Version ranges in Spack are *inclusive*, so ``2.4:2.6`` means any version
-greater than or equal to ``2.4`` and up to and including any ``2.6.x``. If
-you want to specify that a package works with any version of Python 3 (or
-higher), this would look like:
+In this case, the package requires Python 3.10 or newer.
+
+Commonly, packages drop support for older versions of a dependency as
+they release new versions. In Spack you can conveniently add every
+backward compatibility rule as a separate line:
 
 .. code-block:: python
 
-   depends_on("python@3:")
+   # backward compatibility with Python
+   depends_on("python@3.8:")
+   depends_on("python@3.9:", when="@1.2:")
+   depends_on("python@3.10:", when="@1.4:")
 
-Here we leave out the upper bound. If you want to say that a package
-requires Python 2, you can similarly leave out the lower bound:
+This means that in general we need Python 3.8 or newer; from version
+1.2 onwards we need Python 3.9 or newer; from version 1.4 onwards we
+need Python 3.10 or newer. Notice that it's fine to have overlapping
+ranges in the ``when`` clauses.
+
+**Forward compatibility** means that the package requires at most a
+certain version of its dependency. Forward compatibility rules are
+necessary when there are breaking changes in the dependency that the
+package cannot handle. In Spack we often add forward compatibility
+bounds only at the time a new, breaking version of a dependency is
+released. As with backward compatibility, it is typical to see a list
+of forward compatibility bounds in a package file as seperate lines:
 
 .. code-block:: python
 
-   depends_on("python@:2")
+   # forward compatibility with Python
+   depends_on("python@:3.12", when="@:1.10")
+   depends_on("python@:3.13", when="@:1.12")
 
-Notice that we didn't use ``@:3``. Version ranges are *inclusive*, so
-``@:3`` means "up to and including any 3.x version".
+Notice how the ``:`` now appears before the version number both in the
+dependency and in the ``when`` clause. This tells Spack that in general
+we need Python 3.13 or older up to version ``1.12.x``, and up to version
+``1.10.x`` we need Python 3.12 or older. Said differently, forward compatibility
+with Python 3.13 was added in version 1.11, while version 1.13 added forward
+compatibility with Python 3.14.
 
-You can also simply write
+Notice that a version range ``@:3.12`` includes *any* patch version
+number ``3.12.x``, which is often useful when specifying forward compatibility
+bounds.
+
+So far we have seen open-ended version ranges, which is by far the most
+common use case. It is also possible to specify both a lower and an upper bound
+on the version of a dependency, like this:
 
 .. code-block:: python
 
-   depends_on("python@2.7")
+   depends_on("python@3.10:3.12")
 
-to tell Spack that the package needs Python 2.7.x. This is equivalent to
-``@2.7:2.7``.
+There is short syntax to specify that a package is compatible with say any
+``3.x`` version:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   depends_on("python@3")
+
+The above is equivalent to ``depends_on("python@3:3")``, which means at least
+Python version 3 and at most any version ``3.x.y``.

+Specifying ABI Compatibility
+----------------------------
+
+Packages can include ABI-compatibility information using the

+always replace version 1.0, then the package could have:
+
+.. code-block:: python

+   can_splice("foo@1.0", when="@1.1")
+

+could specify:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   can_splice("zlib@1.3.1", when="@2.2+compat")
+
+Some packages have ABI-compatibility that is dependent on matching
+variant values, either for all variants or for some set of
+ABI-relevant variants. In those cases, it is not necessary to specify
+the full combinatorial explosion. The ``match_variants`` keyword can
+cover all single-value variants.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   can_splice("foo@1.1", when="@1.2", match_variants=["bar"])  # any value for bar as long as they're the same
+   can_splice("foo@1.2", when="@1.3", match_variants="*")  # any variant values if all single-value variants match
+
+The concretizer will use ABI compatibility to determine automatic
+splices when :ref:`automatic splicing<automatic_splicing>` is enabled.

-The elements of this file important to spack ci pipelines are described in more
-detail below, but there are a couple of things to note about the above working
-example:
-
 .. note::
-   There is no ``script`` attribute specified for here. The reason for this is
-   Spack CI will automatically generate reasonable default scripts. More
-   detail on what is in these scripts can be found below.
+   The use of ``reuse: false`` in spack environments used for pipelines is
+   almost always what you want, as without it your pipelines will not rebuild
+   packages even if package hashes have changed. This is due to the concretizer
+   strongly preferring known hashes when ``reuse: true``.
 
-   Also notice the ``before_script`` section. It is required when using any of the
-   default scripts to source the ``setup-env.sh`` script in order to inform
-   the default scripts where to find the ``spack`` executable.
+The ``ci`` section in the above environment file contains the bare minimum
+configuration required for ``spack ci generate`` to create a working pipeline.
+The ``target: gitlab`` tells spack that the desired pipeline output is for
+gitlab.  However, this isn't strictly required, as currently gitlab is the
+only possible output format for pipelines. The ``pipeline-gen`` section
+contains the key information needed to specify attributes for the generated
+jobs.  Notice that it contains a list which has only a single element in
+this case.  In real pipelines it will almost certainly have more elements,
+and in those cases, order is important: spack starts at the bottom of the
+list and works upwards when applying attributes.
 
-Normally ``enable-artifacts-buildcache`` is not recommended in production as it
-results in large binary artifacts getting transferred back and forth between
-gitlab and the runners.  But in this example on gitlab.com where there is no
-shared, persistent file system, and where no secrets are stored for giving
-permission to write to an S3 bucket, ``enabled-buildcache-artifacts`` is the only
-way to propagate binaries from jobs to their dependents.
+But in this simple case, we use only the special key ``any-job`` to
+indicate that spack should apply the specified attributes (``tags``, ``image``,
+and ``before_script``) to any job it generates.  This includes jobs for
+building/pushing all packages, a ``rebuild-index`` job at the end of the
+pipeline, as well as any ``noop`` jobs that might be needed by gitlab when
+no rebuilds are required.
 
-Also, it is usually a good idea to let the pipeline generate a final "rebuild the
-buildcache index" job, so that subsequent pipeline generation can quickly determine
-which specs are up to date and which need to be rebuilt (it's a good idea for other
-reasons as well, but those are out of scope for this discussion).  In this case we
-have disabled it (using ``rebuild-index: False``) because the index would only be
-generated in the artifacts mirror anyway, and consequently would not be available
-during subsequent pipeline runs.
+Something to note is that in this simple case, we rely on spack to
+generate a reasonable script for the package build jobs (it just creates
+a script that invokes ``spack ci rebuild``).
 
-.. note::
-   With the addition of reproducible builds (#22887) a previously working
-   pipeline will require some changes:
+Another thing to note is the use of the ``SPACK_USER_CONFIG_DIR`` environment
+variable in any generated jobs.  The purpose of this is to make spack
+aware of one final file in the example, the one that contains the mirror
+configuration.  This file, ``mirrors.yaml`` looks like this:
 
-   * In the build-jobs, the environment location changed.
-     This will typically show as a ``KeyError`` in the failing job. Be sure to
