A few changes to tarball creation (for build caches): - do not run file to distinguish binary from text - file is slow, even when running it in a batched fashion -- it usually reads all bytes and has slow logic to categorize specific types - we don't need a highly detailed file categorization; a crude categorization of elf, mach-o, text suffices. detecting elf and mach-o is straightforward and cheap - detecting utf-8 (and with that ascii) is highly accurate: false positive rate decays exponentially as file size increases. Further it's not only the most common encoding, but the most common file type in package prefixes. iso-8859-1 is cheaply (but heuristically) detected too, and sufficiently accurate after binaries and utf-8 files are classified earlier - remove file as a dependency of Spack in general, which makes Spack itself easier to install - detect file type and need to relocate as part of creating the tarball, which is more cache friendly and thus faster
