There were a number of feature requests for os-specific config. This enables os-specific
config without adding a lot of special sub-scopes.
Support `include:` as an independent configuration schema, allowing users to include
configuration scopes from files or directories. Includes can be:
* conditional (similar to definitions in environments), and/or
* optional (i.e., the include will be skipped if it does not exist).
Includes can be paths or URLs (`ftp`, `https`, `http` or `file`). Paths can be absolute or
relative . Environments can include configuration files using the same schema. Remote includes
must be checked by `sha256`.
Includes can also be recursive, and this modifies the config system accordingly so that
we push included configuration scopes on the stack *before* their including scopes, and
we remove configuration scopes from the stack when their including scopes are removed.
For example, you could have an `include.yaml` file (e.g., under `$HOME/.spack`) to specify
global includes:
```
include:
- ./enable_debug.yaml
- path: https://github.com/spack/spack-configs/blob/main/NREL/configs/mac/config.yaml
sha256: 37f982915b03de18cc4e722c42c5267bf04e46b6a6d6e0ef3a67871fcb1d258b
```
Or an environment `spack.yaml`:
```
spack:
include:
- path: "/path/to/a/config-dir-or-file"
when: os == "ventura"
- ./path/relative/to/containing/file/that/is/required
- path: "/path/with/spack/variables/$os/$target"
optional: true
- path: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spack/spack-configs/refs/heads/main/path/to/required/raw/config.yaml
sha256: 26e871804a92cd07bb3d611b31b4156ae93d35b6a6d6e0ef3a67871fcb1d258b
```
Updated TODO:
- [x] Get existing unit tests to pass with Todd's changes
- [x] Resolve new (or old) circular imports
- [x] Ensure remote includes (global) work
- [x] Ensure remote includes for environments work (note: caches remote
files under user cache root)
- [x] add sha256 field to include paths, validate, and require for remote includes
- [x] add sha256 remote file unit tests
- [x] revisit how diamond includes should work
- [x] support recursive includes
- [x] add recursive include unit tests
- [x] update docs and unit test to indicate ordering of recursive includes with
conflicting options is deferred to follow-on work
