Todd Gamblin f2761270f3 Make concretization less greedy: add backtracking for virtuals.
- `_expand_virtual_packages` now gets a candidate list and will try
  all the candidates.

  - Good news: If the first virtual in the list conflicts with something else in
               the spec, we'll keep trying until we find a good one.

  - Bad news: Only looks as far as the next normalize(); can't see
              conflicts further ahead than that if they're inevitable
              some other virtual expansion.

- Refactor `concretize.py` to keep all the nasty spec graph stitching in
  `spec.py`. This is more similar to before externals support.

  - `concretize.py` now just returns a list of candidates sorted by
    ABI compatibility to `_expand_virtual_packages`, and `spec.py`
    handles testing the candidates.

- Refactor the way external paths are handled in `config.py` and `concretize.py`:

  - previously, `spec_externals` returned spec/path pairs.  Now it
    returns specs with `external` set. Makes code in `concretize.py`
    more natural.
