This changes variant display to use a much more legible format, and to use screen space
much better (particularly on narrow terminals). It also adds color the variant display
to match other parts of `spack info`.
Descriptions and variant value lists that were frequently squished into a tiny column
before now have closer to the full terminal width.
This change also preserves any whitespace formatting present in `package.py`, so package
maintainers can make easer-to-read descriptions of variant values if they want. For
example, `gasnet` has had a nice description of the `conduits` variant for a while, but
it was wrapped and made illegible by `spack info`. That is now fixed and the original
newlines are kept.
Conditional variants are grouped by their when clauses by default, but if you do not
like the grouping, you can display all the variants in order with `--variants-by-name`.
I'm not sure when people will prefer this, but it makes it easier to tell that a
particular variant is/isn't there. I do think grouping by `when` is the better default.
This commit improves forward compatibility of Spack with newer build cache metadata formats.
Before this commit, invalid or unrecognized metadata would be fatal errors, now they just cause
a mirror to be skipped.

The libevent release tarballs ship with a `configure` script generated by an old `libtool`. The `libtool` generated by `configure` is not compatible with `MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_VERSION` > 10. Regeneration of the `configure` scripts fixes build on macOS.
Original configure contains:
```
case $host_os in
rhapsody* | darwin1.[012])
_lt_dar_allow_undefined='$wl-undefined ${wl}suppress' ;;
darwin1.*)
_lt_dar_allow_undefined='$wl-flat_namespace $wl-undefined ${wl}suppress' ;;
darwin*) # darwin 5.x on
# if running on 10.5 or later, the deployment target defaults
# to the OS version, if on x86, and 10.4, the deployment
# target defaults to 10.4. Don't you love it?
case ${MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET-10.0},$host in

Before this PR, variant were not propagated to leaf nodes that could accept
the propagated value, if some intermediate node couldn't accept it.
This PR fixes that issue by marking nodes as "candidate" for propagation
and by setting the variant only if it can be accepted by the node.

* Use `major.minor.patch`, `major.minor`, `major` in tags
* Ensure `latest` is the semver largest version, and not "latest in time"
* Remove Ubuntu 18.04 from the list of images
Modify the packages.yaml schema so that soft-preferences on targets,
compilers and providers can only be specified under the "all" attribute.
This makes them effectively global preferences.
Version preferences instead can only be specified under a package
specific section.
If a preference attribute is found in a section where it should
not be, it will be ignored and a warning is printed to screen.
Most queries will end up calling `spec.satisfies(query)` on everything in the DB, which
will cause Spack to ask whether the query spec is virtual if its name doesn't match the
target spec's. This can be expensive, because it can cause Spack to check if any new
virtuals showed up in *all* the packages it knows about. That can currently trigger
thousands of `stat()` calls.
We can avoid the virtual check for most successful queries if we consider that if there
*is* a match by name, the query spec *can't* be virtual. This PR adds an optimization to
the query loop to save any comparisons that would trigger a virtual check for last.
- [x] Add a `deferred` list to the `query()` loop.
- [x] First run through the `query()` loop *only* checks for name matches.
- [x] Query loop now returns early if there's a name match, skipping most `satisfies()` calls.
- [x] Second run through the `deferred()` list only runs if query spec is virtual.
- [x] Fix up handling of concrete specs.
- [x] Add test for querying virtuals in DB.
- [x] Avoid allocating deferred if not necessary.

Currently there's some hacky logic in the AppleClang compiler that makes
it also accept `gfortran` as a fortran compiler if `flang` is not found.
This is guarded by `if sys.platform` checks s.t. it only applies to
Darwin.
But on Linux the feature of detecting mixed toolchains is highly
requested too, cause it's rather annoying to run into a failed build of
`openblas` after dozens of minutes of compiling its dependencies, just
because clang doesn't have a fortran compiler.
In particular in CI where the system compilers may change during system
updates, it's typically impossible to fix compilers in a hand-written
compilers.yaml config file: the config will almost certainly be outdated
sooner or later, and maintaining one config file per target machine and
writing logic to select the correct config is rather undesirable too.
---
This PR introduces a flag `spack compiler find --mixed-toolchain` that
fills out missing `fc` and `f77` entries in `clang` / `apple-clang` by
picking the best matching `gcc`.
It is enabled by default on macOS, but not on Linux, matching current
behavior of `spack compiler find`.
The "best matching gcc" logic and compiler path updates are identical to
how compiler path dictionaries are currently flattened "horizontally"
(per compiler id). This just adds logic to do the same "vertically"
(across different compiler ids).
So, with this change on Ubuntu 22.04:
```
$ spack compiler find --mixed-toolchain
==> Added 6 new compilers to /home/harmen/.spack/linux/compilers.yaml
gcc@13.1.0 gcc@12.3.0 gcc@11.4.0 gcc@10.5.0 clang@16.0.0 clang@15.0.7
==> Compilers are defined in the following files:
/home/harmen/.spack/linux/compilers.yaml
```
you finally get:
```
compilers:
- compiler:
spec: clang@=15.0.7
paths:
cc: /usr/bin/clang
cxx: /usr/bin/clang++
f77: /usr/bin/gfortran
fc: /usr/bin/gfortran
flags: {}
operating_system: ubuntu23.04
target: x86_64
modules: []
environment: {}
extra_rpaths: []
- compiler:
spec: clang@=16.0.0
paths:
cc: /usr/bin/clang-16
cxx: /usr/bin/clang++-16
f77: /usr/bin/gfortran
fc: /usr/bin/gfortran
flags: {}
operating_system: ubuntu23.04
target: x86_64
modules: []
environment: {}
extra_rpaths: []
```
The "best gcc" is automatically default system gcc, since it has no
suffixes / prefixes.
Add a new config section: `config:aliases`, which is a dictionary mapping aliases
to commands.
For instance:
```yaml
config:
aliases:
sp: spec -I
```
will define a new command `sp` that will execute `spec` with the `-I`
argument.
Aliases cannot override existing commands, and this is ensured with a test.
We cannot currently alias subcommands. Spack will warn about any aliases
containing a space, but will not error, which leaves room for subcommand
aliases in the future.

This adds a rather trivial context manager that lets you deduplicate repeated
arguments in directives, e.g.
```python
depends_on("py-x@1", when="@1", type=("build", "run"))
depends_on("py-x@2", when="@2", type=("build", "run"))
depends_on("py-x@3", when="@3", type=("build", "run"))
depends_on("py-x@4", when="@4", type=("build", "run"))
```
can be condensed to
```python
with default_args(type=("build", "run")):
depends_on("py-x@1", when="@1")
depends_on("py-x@2", when="@2")
depends_on("py-x@3", when="@3")
depends_on("py-x@4", when="@4")
```
The advantage is it's clear for humans, the downside it's less clear for type checkers due to type erasure.
Create chains of causation for error messages.
The current implementation is only completed for some of the many errors presented by the concretizer. The rest will need to be filled out over time, but this demonstrates the capability.
The basic idea is to associate conditions in the solver with one another in causal relationships, and to associate errors with the proximate causes of their facts in the condition graph. Then we can construct causal trees to explain errors, which will hopefully present users with useful information to avoid the error or report issues.
Technically, this is implemented as a secondary solve. The concretizer computes the optimal model, and if the optimal model contains an error, then a secondary solve computes causation information about the error(s) in the concretizer output.
Examples:
$ spack solve hdf5 ^cmake@3.0.1
==> Error: concretization failed for the following reasons:
1. Cannot satisfy 'cmake@3.0.1'
2. Cannot satisfy 'cmake@3.0.1'

Future work:
In addition to fleshing out the causes of other errors, I would like to find a way to associate different components of the error messages with different causes. In this example it's pretty easy to infer which part is which, but I'm not confident that will always be the case.
See the previous PR #34500 for discussion of how the condition chains are incomplete. In the future, we may need custom logic for individual attributes to associate some important choice rules with conditions such that clingo choices or other derivations can be part of the explanation.

This PR implements the concept of "default environment", which doesn't have to be
created explicitly. The aim is to lower the barrier for adopting environments.
To (create and) activate the default environment, run
```
$ spack env activate
```
This mimics the behavior of
```
$ cd
```
which brings you to your home directory.
This is not a breaking change, since `spack env activate` without arguments
currently errors. It is similar to the already existing `spack env activate --temp`
command which always creates an env in a temporary directory, the difference
is that the default environment is a managed / named environment named `default`.
The name `default` is not a reserved name, it's just that `spack env activate`
creates it for you if you don't have it already.
With this change, you can get started with environments faster:
```
$ spack env activate [--prompt]
$ spack install --add x y z
```
instead of
```
$ spack env create default
==> Created environment 'default in /Users/harmenstoppels/spack/var/spack/environments/default
==> You can activate this environment with:
==> spack env activate default
$ spack env activate [--prompt] default
$ spack install --add x y z
```
Notice that Spack supports switching (but not stacking) environments, so the
parallel with `cd` is pretty clear:
```
$ spack env activate named_env
$ spack env status
==> In environment named_env
$ spack env activate
$ spack env status
==> In environment default
```
* Add command suggestions
This adds suggestions of similar commands in case users mistype a
command. Before:
```
$ spack spack
==> Error: spack is not a recognized Spack command or extension command; check with `spack commands`.
```
After:
```
$ spack spack
==> Error: spack is not a recognized Spack command or extension command; check with `spack commands`.
Did you mean one of the following commands?
spec
patch
```
* Add package name suggestions
* Remove suggestion to run spack clean -m
This completes to `spack concretize`:
```
spack conc<tab>
```
but this still gets hung up on the difference between `concretize` and `concretise`:
```
spack -e . conc<tab>
```
We were checking `"$COMP_CWORD" = 1`, which tracks the word on the command line
including any flags and their args, but we should track `"$COMP_CWORD_NO_FLAGS" = 1` to
figure out if the arg we're completing is the first real command.
This PR adds support for including separate definitions from `spack.yaml`.
Supporting the inclusion of files with definitions enables user to make
curated/standardized collections of packages that can re-used by others.
Currently module globals aren't set before running
`setup_[dependent_]run_environment` to compute environment modifications
for module files. This commit fixes that.
