Todd Gamblin f6d26db939 macos: use DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH instead of DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
`DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` can frequently break builtin macOS software when
pointed at Spack libraries.  This is because it takes *higher* precedence
than the default library search paths, which are used by system software.

`DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH`, on the other hand, takes lower precedence.
At first glance, this might seem bad, because the software installed by
Spack in an environment needs to find *its* libraries, and it should not
use the defaults.  However, Spack's isntallations are always `RPATH`'d,
so they do not have this problem.

`DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH` is thus useful for things built in an
environment that need to use Spack's libraries, that don't set *their*
RPATHs correctly for whatever reason. We now prefer it to
`DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` in modules and in environments because it helps a
little bit, and it is much less intrusive.
