Allow for packages with multiple build-systems (#30738)
This commit extends the DSL that can be used in packages
to allow declaring that a package uses different build-systems
under different conditions.

It requires each spec to have a `build_system` single valued
variant. The variant can be used in many context to query, manipulate
or select the build system associated with a concrete spec.

The knowledge to build a package has been moved out of the
PackageBase hierarchy, into a new Builder hierarchy. Customization
of the default behavior for a given builder can be obtained by
coding a new derived builder in package.py.

The "run_after" and "run_before" decorators are now applied to
methods on the builder. They can also incorporate a "when="
argument to specify that a method is run only when certain
conditions apply.

For packages that do not define their own builder, forwarding logic
is added between the builder and package (methods not found in one
will be retrieved from the other); this PR is expected to be fully
backwards compatible with unmodified packages that use a single
build system.

Maven
-----
Apache Maven is a general-purpose build system that does not rely
on Makefiles to build software. It is designed for building and
managing and Java-based project.
^^^^^^
Phases
^^^^^^
The ``MavenBuilder`` and ``MavenPackage`` base classes come with the following phases:
#. ``build`` - compile code and package into a JAR file
#. ``install`` - copy to installation prefix
By default, these phases run:
.. code-block:: console
$ mvn package
$ install . <prefix>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Important files
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Maven packages can be identified by the presence of a ``pom.xml`` file.
This file lists dependencies and other metadata about the project.
There may also be configuration files in the ``.mvn`` directory.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Build system dependencies
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Maven requires the ``mvn`` executable to build the project. It also
requires Java at both build- and run-time. Because of this, the base
class automatically adds the following dependencies:
.. code-block:: python
depends_on('java', type=('build', 'run'))
depends_on('maven', type='build')
In the ``pom.xml`` file, you may see sections like:
.. code-block:: xml
<requireJavaVersion>
<version>[1.7,)</version>
</requireJavaVersion>
<requireMavenVersion>
<version>[3.5.4,)</version>
</requireMavenVersion>
This specifies the versions of Java and Maven that are required to
build the package. See
https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1212/core/MAVEN/maven_version.htm#MAVEN402
for a description of this version range syntax. In this case, you
should add:
.. code-block:: python
depends_on('java@7:', type='build')
depends_on('maven@3.5.4:', type='build')
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Passing arguments to the build phase
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The default build and install phases should be sufficient to install
most packages. However, you may want to pass additional flags to
the build phase. For example:
.. code-block:: python
def build_args(self):
return [
'-Pdist,native',
'-Dtar',
'-Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true'
]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
