locks: add configuration and command-line options to enable/disable locks (#7692)
- spack.util.lock behaves the same as llnl.util.lock, but Lock._lock and
  Lock._unlock do nothing.

- can be disabled with a control variable.

- configuration options can enable/disable locking:
  - `locks` option in spack configuration controls whether Spack will use filesystem locks or not.
  - `-l` and `-L` command-line options can force-disable or force-enable locking.

- Spack will check for group- and world-writability before disabling
  locks, and it will not allow a group- or world-writable instance to
  have locks disabled.
