Currently, environments can either be concretized fully together or fully separately. This works well for users who create environments for interoperable software and can use `concretizer:unify:true`. It does not allow environments with conflicting software to be concretized for maximal interoperability.
The primary use-case for this is facilities providing system software. Facilities provide multiple MPI implementations, but all software built against a given MPI ought to be interoperable.
This PR adds a concretization option `concretizer:unify:when_possible`. When this option is used, Spack will concretize specs in the environment separately, but will optimize for minimal differences in overlapping packages.
* Add a level of indirection to root specs
This commit introduce the "literal" atom, which comes with
a few different "arities". The unary "literal" contains an
integer that id the ID of a spec literal. Other "literals"
contain information on the requests made by literal ID. For
instance zlib@1.2.11 generates the following facts:
literal(0,"root","zlib").
literal(0,"node","zlib").
literal(0,"node_version_satisfies","zlib","1.2.11").
This should help with solving large environments "together
where possible" since later literals can be now solved
together in batches.
* Add a mechanism to relax the number of literals being solved
* Modify spack solve to display the new criteria
Since the new criteria is above all the build criteria,
we need to modify the way we display the output.

* Inject reusable specs into the solve
Instead of coupling the PyclingoDriver() object with
spack.config, inject the concrete specs that can be
reused.
A method level function takes care of reading from
the store and the buildcache.
* spack solve: show output of multi-rounds
* add tests for best-effort coconcretization
* Enforce having at least a literal being solved
