Spack tests no longer clutter var/spack/stage

- Tests use a session-scoped mock stage directory so as not to interfere
  with the real install.

- Every test is forced to clean up after itself with an additional check.
  We now automatically assert that no new files have been added to
  `spack.stage_path` during each test.

  - This means that tests that fail installs now need to clean up their
    stages, but in all other cases the check is useful.
