Allowing environment variables to be set in a spack.yaml (#47587)
This adds a new configuration section called `env_vars:` that can be set in an environment.

It looks very similar to the existing `environment:` section that can be added to `modules.yaml`,
but it is global for an entire spack environment. It's called `env_vars:` to deconflate it with spack
environments (the term was too overloaded).

The syntax looks like this:

```yaml
spack:
  specs:
    - cmake%gcc
  env_vars:
    set:
      ENVAR_SET_IN_ENV_LOAD: "True"
```

Any of our standard environment modifications can be added to the `env_vars` section, e.g.
`prepend_path:`, `unset:`, `append_path:`, etc.  Operations in `env_vars:` are performed
on `spack env activate` and undone on `spack env deactivate`.
