Git commit versions bugfix: Environments and Concretization (#29717)

Spack added support in #24639 for ad-hoc Git-commit-hash-based
versions: A user can install a package x@hash, where X is a package
that stores its source code in a Git repository, and the hash refers
to a commit in that repository which is not recorded as an explicit
version in the package.py file for X.

A couple issues were found relating to this:

* If an environment defines an alternative package repo (i.e. with
  repos.yaml), and spack.yaml contains user Specs with ad-hoc
  Git-commit-hash-based versions for packages in that repo,
  then as part of retrieving the data needed for version comparisons
  it will attempt to retrieve the package before the environment's
  configuration is instantiated.
* The bookkeeping information added to compare ad-hoc git versions was
  being stripped from Specs during concretization (such that user
  Specs which succeeded before concretizing would then fail after)

This addresses the issues:

* The first issue is resolved by deferring access to the associated
  Package until the versions are actually compared to one another.
* The second issue is resolved by ensuring that the Git bookkeeping
  information is explicitly applied to Specs after they are concretized.

This also:

* Resolves an ambiguity in the mock_git_version_info fixture used to
  create a tree of Git commits and provide a list where each index
  maps to a known commit.
* Isolates the cache used for Git repositories in tests using the
  mock_git_version_info fixture
* Adds a TODO which points out that if the remote Git repository
  overwrites tags, that Spack will then fail when using
  ad-hoc Git-commit-hash-based versions
