There have been a lot of questions and some confusion recently surrounding Spack installation test capabilities so this PR is intended to clean up and refine the documentation for "Checking an installation".
It aims to better distinguish between checks that are performed during an installation (i.e., build-time tests) and those that can be done days and weeks after the software has been installed (i.e., install (or smoke) tests).

`flag_handler` currently passes all flags via injection. This makes it
impossible to override the default flags provided by autotools (for
instance, `binutils cflags='-O2'` will still build with `-O2 -g`).
Instead, use injection for our workaround flags and pass other flags to
the build system.
When we first merged the ASP-based solver, unit-tests
were run in a Docker container with root permissions
and that was preventing a few tests to succeed.
Since some time though, clingo is tested as a regular
user within Github Actions VMs, so we should start to
run checks again.
* geos: Fix config issues with python bindings using python3 (#23479)
This should fix some config issues when building geos with python
bindings and using python3 --- the geos configuration scripts had
a few python2-isms.
I only tested (lightly; geos built and I can import geos in python3)
on 3.8.1, but I did check that the patch can at least be applied
in 3.5.
I belatedly discovered that geos dropped all the SWIG bindings
in @3.9, so I also added some conflicts on the +python and +ruby
options to note that they are not supported in 3.9.
* geos: adding omitted patch file
In an active concretize environment, support installing one or more
cli specs only if they are already present in the environment. The
`--no-add` option is the default for root specs, but optional for
dependency specs. I.e. if you `spack install <depspec>` in an
environment, the dependency-only spec `depspec` will be added as a
root of the environment before being installed. In addition,
`spack install --no-add <spec>` fails if it does not find an
unambiguous match for `spec`.
