Description

This PR updates the spack submodule branch spack-stack-dev from the upstream spack develop. Until now, it was based on Spack v1.0.1. See JCSDA/spack#574

This update requires us to switch to the new (spack v1) syntax for declaring preferred compilers, since the blanket packages:all:require:['gcc'] (for example) no longer works for packages that don't depend on a compiler (no c, cxx, fortran dependency). While updating the common packages_<compiler>.yaml files, I removed the remaining configs/common/packages_<compiler>.yaml.NOTYETUPDATED files.

The concretizer now behaves slightly differently, and we can no longer declare external compiler runtime libraries. I opposed this for a long time, but, alas, I'll choose a different hill to die on. This had to be done for every site config. A few more tweaks to the common packages.yaml are needed to avoid duplicate packages. Note also that external packages now have to match any variants that are require:d in the environment config.

The above changes require updates to the setup-meta-modules extension, the GitHub actions workflows, and the unit tests for the spack-stack extension.

Lastly, this PR brings in a new version of bufr-query 0.0.5. Note that the concretizer in spack v1.0.1 had a bug that caused it to simply ignore bufr-query, even though it was supposed to be built (variant in jedi-base-env had default value True). The new concretizer fixed this bug, and now we do get bufr-query as part of the unified environment and the Skylab environment.

Correct, but we can start building and testing with develop.
