Compiler detection was not getting triggered properly with some of the
new config logic. Adjust the conditions under which Spack will serach
for compilers.
- Recent external repo refactoring made `repo_for_pkg` raise an error
when the package was not known.
- Correct behavior is to return the highest precedence repo.
- Old test: did not attempt to actually fetch mirrored packages.
- New test:
1. Creates a temporary mirror,
2. Registers it with spack,
3. Fetches from it, and
4. Verifies that the fetched archive matches the original
- This test will hopefully mean that `spack mirror` is less brittle
from now on.
- simplify output, error, and input redirection
- `return_output=True` is now `output=str`
- `return_output=True` will still work for the time being but is
deprecated.
- previously you could say `return_output=True` and `output=<stream>`,
which wouldn't actually write to the stream. Now you actually can't
specify erroneous cases since there is only one parameter with
mutually exclusive options..
This is necessary for the NAG Fortran compiler, which prints its version message to STDERR instead of STDOUT. This message was previously being ignored, preventing spack from finding the compiler's version or automatically adding it to the compilers.yaml configuration file.

...
- By default inherit parent's input/output descriptor
- Only use pipes if we need to return output.
- Allows subprocesses (like emacsclient) to detect terminal correctly
