`spack buildcache create` is a misnomer cause it's the only way to push to
an existing buildcache (and it in fact calls binary_distribution.push).
Also we have `spack buildcache update-index` but for create the flag is
`--rebuild-index`, which is confusing (and also... why "rebuild"
something if the command is "create" in the first place, that implies it
wasn't there to begin with).
So, after this PR, you can use either
```
spack buildcache create --rebuild-index
```
or
```
spack buildcache push --update-index
```
Also, alias `spack buildcache rebuild-index` to `spack buildcache
update-index`.
Spack never parsed `nagfor` linker arguments put on the compiler line:
```
nagfor -Wl,-Wl,,-rpath,,/path
````
so, let's continue not attempting to parse that.
`buildcache create --rel`: deprecate this because there is no point in
making things relative before tarballing; on install you need to expand
`$ORIGIN` / `@loader_path` / relative symlinks anyways because some
dependencies may actually be in an upstream, or have different
projections.
`buildcache install --allow-root`: this flag was propagated through a
lot of functions but was ultimately unused.

When building perl with posix jobserver, it seems to eat jobs, which
reduces parallelism to 1 in many cases, and is rather annoying. This is
solved in GNU Make 4.4 (fifo is more stable than file descriptors), but
that version is typically not available.
So, fix this issue by simply unsetting MAKEFLAGS for the duration of
./Configure. That's enough, and the build phase runs perfectly in
parallel again.
This switches the default Make build type to `build_type=Release`.
This offers:
- higher optimization level, including loop vectorization on older GCC
- adds NDEBUG define, which disables assertions, which could cause speedups if assertions are in loops etc
- no `-g` means smaller install size
Downsides are:
- worse backtraces (though this does NOT strip symbols)
- perf reports may be useless
- no function arguments / local variables in debugger (could be of course)
- no file path / line numbers in debugger
The downsides can be mitigated by overriding to `build_type=RelWithDebInfo` in `packages.yaml`,
if needed. The upside is that builds will be MUCH smaller (and faster) with this change.

* Vendor ruamel.yaml v0.17.21
* Add unit test for whitespace regression
* Add an abstraction layer in Spack to wrap ruamel.yaml
All YAML operations are routed through spack.util.spack_yaml
The custom classes have been adapted to the new ruamel.yaml
class hierarchy.
Fixed line annotation issue in "spack config blame"
This ensures that:
a) no externals are added to the tarball metadata file
b) no externals are added to the prefix to prefix map on install, also
for old tarballs that did include externals
c) ensure that the prefix -> prefix map is always string to string, and
doesn't contain None in case for some reason a hash is missing
