`make` solves a lot of headaches that would otherwise have to be implemented in Spack:
1. Parallelism over packages through multiple `spack install` processes
2. Orderly output of parallel package installs thanks to `make --sync-output=recurse` or `make -Orecurse` (works well in GNU Make 4.3; macOS is unfortunately on a 16 years old 3.x version, but it's one `spack install gmake` away...)
3. Shared jobserver across packages, which means a single `-j` to rule them all, instead of manually finding a balance between `#spack install processes` & `#jobs per package` (See #30302).
This pr adds the `spack env depfile` command that generates a Makefile with dag hashes as
targets, and dag hashes of dependencies as prerequisites, and a command
along the lines of `spack install --only=packages /hash` to just install
a single package.
It exposes two convenient phony targets: `all`, `fetch-all`. The former installs the environment, the latter just fetches all sources. So one can either use `make all -j16` directly or run `make fetch-all -j16` on a login node and `make all -j16` on a compute node.
Example:
```yaml
spack:
specs: [perl]
view: false
```
running
```
$ spack -e . env depfile --make-target-prefix env | tee Makefile
```
generates
```Makefile

Then with `make -O` you get very nice orderly output when packages are built in parallel:
```console
$ make -Orecurse -j16
spack -e . install --only-concrete --only=package /c4go4gxlcznh5p5nklpjm644epuh3pzc && touch c4go4gxlcznh5p5nklpjm644epuh3pzc
==> Installing zlib-1.2.12-c4go4gxlcznh5p5nklpjm644epuh3pzc
...

spack -e . install --only-concrete --only=package /sbzszb7v557ohyd6c2ekirx2t3ctxfxp && touch sbzszb7v557ohyd6c2ekirx2t3ctxfxp

```
For Perl, at least for me, using `make -j16` versus `spack -e . install -j16` speeds up the builds from 3m32.623s to 2m22.775s, as some configure scripts run in parallel.
Another nice feature is you can do Makefile "metaprogramming" and depend on packages built by Spack. This example fetches all sources (in parallel) first, print a message, and only then build packages (in parallel).
```Makefile
SPACK ?= spack
.PHONY: env
all: env
spack.lock: spack.yaml
$(SPACK) -e . concretize -f
env.mk: spack.lock
$(SPACK) -e . env depfile -o $@ --make-target-prefix spack
fetch: spack/fetch
@echo Fetched all packages && touch $@
env: fetch spack/env
@echo This executes after the environment has been installed
clean:
rm -rf spack/ env.mk spack.lock
ifeq (,$(filter clean,$(MAKECMDGOALS)))
include env.mk
endif
```
