Automatically find externals (#15158)
Add a `spack external find` command that tries to populate `packages.yaml` with external packages from the user's `$PATH`. This focuses on finding build dependencies. Currently, support has only been added for `cmake`. For a package to be discoverable with `spack external find`, it must define: * an `executables` class attribute containing a list of regular expressions that match executable names. * a `determine_spec_details(prefix, specs_in_prefix)` method Spack will call `determine_spec_details()` once for each prefix where executables are found, passing in the path to the prefix and the path to all found executables. The package is responsible for invoking the executables and figuring out what type of installation(s) are in the prefix, and returning one or more specs (each with version, variants or whatever else the user decides to include in the spec). The found specs and prefixes will be added to the user's `packages.yaml` file. Providing the `--not-buildable` option will mark all generated entries in `packages.yaml` as `buildable: False`
