environment_modifications_for_specs: do not mutate spec.prefix (#41737)
Sometimes env variables computed in `setup_run_environment` depend on tests w.r.t. files in `spec.prefix`, but Spack temporarily projects `spec.prefix` to the view. This is problematic for two reasons: 1. Some packages iterate over `<prefix>/bin`: they expect only the current package's executables, but find all linked in the view, leading to false positives. 2. Some packages test for `os.path.islink(...)`, which is always true in a view `gcc` is an example that does both. This PR lets Spack compute the environment modifications using the original prefix, and projects to the view afterwards
