use TARGET=VORTEX for Apple M2 skipping all the logic

* libiconv can be provided by libc, so update packages which depend on
  libiconv to require the iconv virtual instead
* Many packages need special consideration when locating iconv depending
  on whether it is provided by libc (no prefix provided) or the libiconv
  package (in that case we want to provide a prefix)
* It was also noticed that when an iconv external was provided, that
  there was interference with linking (this should generally be handled
  by Spack's compiler wrappers and bears further investigation)
* Like iconv, libintl can be provided by libc or another package, namely
  gettext. It is not converted to a provider like libiconv because it
  provides additional routines. The logic is similar to that of iconv
  but instead of checking the provider, we check whether the gettext
  installation includes libintl.

+------------------------------
+Extending the Jinja2 Templates
+------------------------------
+
+The Dockerfile and the Singularity definition file that Spack can generate are based on
+a few Jinja2 templates that are rendered according to the environment being containerized.
+Even though Spack allows a great deal of customization by just setting appropriate values for
+the configuration options, sometimes that is not enough.
+
+In those cases, a user can directly extend the template that Spack uses to render the image
+to e.g. set additional environment variables or perform specific operations either before or
+after a given stage of the build. Let's consider as an example the following structure:
+

 Getting started with pipelines

+.. code-block:: bash
 
-The ``gitlab-ci`` section is used to configure how the pipeline workload should be
-generated, mainly how the jobs for building specs should be assigned to the
-configured runners on your instance.  Each entry within the list of ``mappings``
-corresponds to a known gitlab runner, where the ``match`` section is used
-in assigning a release spec to one of the runners, and the ``runner-attributes``
-section is used to configure the spec/job for that particular runner.
-
-Both the top-level ``gitlab-ci`` section as well as each ``runner-attributes``
-section can also contain the following keys: ``image``, ``tags``, ``variables``,
-``before_script``, ``script``, and ``after_script``.  If any of these keys are
-provided at the ``gitlab-ci`` level, they will be used as the defaults for any
-``runner-attributes``, unless they are overridden in those sections.  Specifying
-any of these keys at the ``runner-attributes`` level generally overrides the
-keys specified at the higher level, with a couple exceptions.  Any ``variables``
-specified at both levels result in those dictionaries getting merged in the
-resulting generated job, and any duplicate variable names get assigned the value
-provided in the specific ``runner-attributes``.  If ``tags`` are specified both
-at the ``gitlab-ci`` level as well as the ``runner-attributes`` level, then the
-lists of tags are combined, and any duplicates are removed.
-
-See the section below on using a custom spack for an example of how these keys
-could be used.
-
-There are other pipeline options you can configure within the ``gitlab-ci`` section
-as well.
-
-The ``bootstrap`` section allows you to specify lists of specs from
-your ``definitions`` that should be staged ahead of the environment's ``specs`` (this
-section is described in more detail below).  The ``enable-artifacts-buildcache`` key
-takes a boolean and determines whether the pipeline uses artifacts to store and
-pass along the buildcaches from one stage to the next (the default if you don't
-provide this option is ``False``).
-
-The optional ``broken-specs-url`` key tells Spack to check against a list of
-specs that are known to be currently broken in ``develop``. If any such specs
-are found, the ``spack ci generate`` command will fail with an error message
-informing the user what broken specs were encountered. This allows the pipeline
-to fail early and avoid wasting compute resources attempting to build packages
-that will not succeed.

-The optional ``cdash`` section provides information that will be used by the
-``spack ci generate`` command (invoked by ``spack ci start``) for reporting
-to CDash.  All the jobs generated from this environment will belong to a
-"build group" within CDash that can be tracked over time.  As the release

+

+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Job Attribute Sections
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Each type of job may have attributes added or removed via sections in the ``pipeline-gen``
+list. Job type specific attributes may be specified using the keys ``<type>-job`` to
+add attributes to all jobs of type ``<type>`` or ``<type>-job-remove`` to remove attributes
+of type ``<type>``. Each section may only contain one type of job attribute specification, ie. ,
+``build-job`` and ``noop-job`` may not coexist but ``build-job`` and ``build-job-remove`` may.
+
+.. note::
+    The ``*-remove`` specifications are applied before the additive attribute specification.
+    For example, in the case where both ``build-job`` and ``build-job-remove`` are listed in
+    the same ``pipeline-gen`` section, the value will still exist in the merged build-job after
+    applying the section.
+
+All of the attributes specified are forwarded to the generated CI jobs, however special
+treatment is applied to the attributes ``tags``, ``image``, ``variables``, ``script``,
+``before_script``, and ``after_script`` as they are components recognized explicitly by the
+Spack CI generator. For the ``tags`` attribute, Spack will remove reserved tags
+(:ref:`reserved_tags`) from all jobs specified in the config. In some cases, such as for
+``signing`` jobs, reserved tags will be added back based on the type of CI that is being run.

-dependencies computed, and the entire resulting set of specs are staged together

-the number of jobs in any stage of the pipeline, while ensuring that the jobs in
-any stage only depend on jobs in previous stages (since those jobs are guaranteed
-to have completed already).  As a runner is determined for a job, the information
-in the ``runner-attributes`` is used to populate various parts of the job
-description that will be used by Gitlab CI. Once all the jobs have been assigned
-a runner, the ``.gitlab-ci.yml`` is written to disk.
+A special case of attribute specification is the ``submapping`` section which may be used
+to apply job attributes to build jobs based on the package spec associated with the rebuild
+job. Submapping is specified as a list of spec ``match`` lists associated with
+``build-job``/``build-job-remove`` sections. There are two options for ``match_behavior``,
+either ``first`` or ``merge`` may be specified. In either case, the ``submapping`` list is
+processed from the bottom up, and then each ``match`` list is searched for a string that
+satisfies the check ``spec.satisfies({match_item})`` for each concrete spec.
 
-The short example provided above would result in the ``readline``, ``ncurses``,
-and ``pkgconf`` packages getting staged and built on the runner chosen by the
-``spack-k8s`` tag.  In this example, spack assumes the runner is a Docker executor
-type runner, and thus certain jobs will be run in the ``centos7`` container,
-and others in the ``ubuntu-18.04`` container.  The resulting ``.gitlab-ci.yml``
-will contain 6 jobs in three stages.  Once the jobs have been generated, the
-presence of a ``SPACK_CDASH_AUTH_TOKEN`` environment variable during the
-``spack ci generate`` command would result in all of the jobs being put in a
-build group on CDash called "Release Testing" (that group will be created if
-it didn't already exist).
+The the case of ``match_behavior: first``, the first ``match`` section in the list of
+``submappings`` that contains a string that satisfies the spec will apply it's
+``build-job*`` attributes to the rebuild job associated with that spec. This is the
+default behavior and will be the method if no ``match_behavior`` is specified.
 
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Optional compiler bootstrapping
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+The the case of ``merge`` match, all of the ``match`` sections in the list of
+``submappings`` that contain a string that satisfies the spec will have the associated
+``build-job*`` attributes applied to the rebuild job associated with that spec. Again,
+the attributes will be merged starting from the bottom match going up to the top match.
 
-Spack pipelines also have support for bootstrapping compilers on systems that
-may not already have the desired compilers installed. The idea here is that
-you can specify a list of things to bootstrap in your ``definitions``, and
-spack will guarantee those will be installed in a phase of the pipeline before
-your release specs, so that you can rely on those packages being available in
-the binary mirror when you need them later on in the pipeline.  At the moment
+In the case that no match is found in a submapping section, no additional attributes will be applied.

+Bootstrapping
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+
+The ``bootstrap`` section allows you to specify lists of specs from
+your ``definitions`` that should be staged ahead of the environment's ``specs``. At the moment
 the only viable use-case for bootstrapping is to install compilers.

+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Pipeline Buildcache
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The ``enable-artifacts-buildcache`` key
+takes a boolean and determines whether the pipeline uses artifacts to store and
+pass along the buildcaches from one stage to the next (the default if you don't
+provide this option is ``False``).
+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Broken Specs URL
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The optional ``broken-specs-url`` key tells Spack to check against a list of
+specs that are known to be currently broken in ``develop``. If any such specs
+are found, the ``spack ci generate`` command will fail with an error message
+informing the user what broken specs were encountered. This allows the pipeline
+to fail early and avoid wasting compute resources attempting to build packages
+that will not succeed.
+
+^^^^^
+CDash
+^^^^^
+
+The optional ``cdash`` section provides information that will be used by the
+``spack ci generate`` command (invoked by ``spack ci start``) for reporting
+to CDash.  All the jobs generated from this environment will belong to a
+"build group" within CDash that can be tracked over time.  As the release
+progresses, this build group may have jobs added or removed. The url, project,
+and site are used to specify the CDash instance to which build results should
+be reported.

+Reserved Tags
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Spack has a subset of tags (``public``, ``protected``, and ``notary``) that it reserves
+for classifying runners that may require special permissions or access. The tags
+``public`` and ``protected`` are used to distinguish between runners that use public
+permissions and runners with protected permissions. The ``notary`` tag is a special tag
+that is used to indicate runners that have access to the highly protected information
