The `spack external find binutils` command was failing to find my system
binutils because the regex was not matching. The name of the executable
follows the string 'GNU' that I tested with three different
installations so I changed the regex to look for that. On my CentOS-7
system, the version had the RPM details so I set the version to capture
the first three parts of the version.
The system compiler on RHEL7 fails to build the latest linux-uuid.
```
util-linux-uuid@2.37.4%gcc@4.8.5 arch=linux-rhel7-haswell
```
results in:
```
libuuid/src/unparse.c:42:73: error: expected ';', ',' or ')' before 'fmt'
static void uuid_fmt(const uuid_t uuid, char *buf, char const *restrict fmt)
```
It looks like it's assuming C99 by default so there may be a better way
to handle this... but this at least works
See https://github.com/spack/spack/pull/28468/files#r809156986
If we exit before generating the:
error("Dependencies must have compatible OS's with their dependents").
...
facts we'll output a problem that is effectively
different by the one solved by clingo.
* cmd/checksum: prefer url matching url_from_version
This is a minimal change toward getting the right archive from places
like github. The heuristic is:
* if an archive url exists, take its version
* generate a url from the package with pkg.url_from_version
* if they match
* stop considering other URLs for this version
* otherwise, continue replacing the url for the version
I doubt this will always work, but it should address a variety of
versions of this bug. A good test right now is `spack checksum gh`,
which checksums macos binaries without this, and the correct source
packages with it.

* add heuristics to help create as well
Since create can't rely on an existing package, this commit adds another
pair of heuristics:
1. if the current version is a specifically listed archive, don't
replace it
2. if the current url matches the result of applying
`spack.url.substitute_version(a, ver)` for any a in archive_urls,
prefer it and don't replace it

* clean up style and a lingering debug import
* ok flake8, you got me
* document reference_package argument
* Update lib/spack/spack/util/web.py

We can see what is in the bootstrap store with `spack find -b`, and you can clean it with `spack
clean -b`, but we can't do much else with it, and if there are bootstrap issues they can be hard to
debug.
We already have `spack --mock`, which allows you to swap in the mock packages from the command
line. This PR introduces `spack -b` / `spack --bootstrap`, which runs all of spack with
`ensure_bootstrap_configuration()` set. This means that you can run `spack -b find`, `spack -b
install`, `spack -b spec`, etc. to see what *would* happen with bootstrap configuration, to remove
specific bootstrap packages, etc. This will hopefully make developers' lives easier as they deal
with bootstrap packages.
This PR also uses a `nullcontext` context manager. `nullcontext` has been implemented in several
other places in Spack, and this PR consolidates them to `llnl.util.lang`, with a note that we can
delete the function if we ever reqyire a new enough Python.
- [x] introduce `spack --bootstrap` option
- [x] consolidated all `nullcontext` usages to `llnl.util.lang`
